The whistling of the wind stirs the earth, the mountains, and the seas, and, as usual, at the end of the day, the Shepherd's voice is heard calling his sheep. The vibration of his voice reaches from afar, and yet it fades into the meadow.

    

The haunting sound of God's voice silences seagulls and paralyzes wild beasts. So much so that, even though we human beings can hear God's voice, we struggle to lower our own frequency to hear what is truly essential.

 

However, humankind does not always heed the Lord's exhortations. His groaning is lost in the air, and His words pile up at the ends of the earth, His sorrowful cry unheard. We are deaf, friends; we have no time to stop and pay attention.

 

The boastful, the wicked, and the deceitful remain unmoved. Those who ignore the melody of the Just and are unfamiliar with the sonata of the Beloved are insensitive.

 

People refuse to listen to the message of hope that comes from God. The rich have remained indifferent, and the arrogant have gone off to revel. The poor have grown poorer, and the unfortunate are lost in tribulation and injustice.

 

For those who disconnect from the voice of the Messiah, the world will grow darker, and the sun's radiance will vanish at the touch of negligence. The forgetful will stumble on their own falsehood and, without lifting their heads, will walk along the muddy path. The absent one's head will not be raised to the heavens, for they are unaware that God's splendor is more powerful than their own conscience.

 

The Word of God says: “The earth has been defiled by its inhabitants, because they have stopped keeping the laws, have disobeyed the commandments, have violated the eternal covenant” (Isaiah 24:5).

 

Nevertheless, the voice of the Almighty continues to carry His faithful legacy across distant hills and bustling streets. From end to end His Word reaches, arriving in the ears of those who desire to hear it. The crown of the King of Kings appears as it does every day. His robe does not fade, nor does His immaculate garment become torn. His power has not changed, and His mercy remains eternal.

 

He proclaims the message of salvation everywhere, and His voice is heard across the seas, and in the forgotten corners of the world He proclaims His eternal message: My people, do not stray from My Word!... “Pay attention to my corrections, and I will fill you with My Spirit; I will make known My thoughts to you. I have called you, I have invited you to come, but you have refused to listen to Me” (Proverbs 1:23-24).

 

Human beings prefer not to hear the proclamation of the Blessed Sacrament; they do not want to sing the melody of the composer of all time. They have forgotten their baptismal promises and neglected reverence for the Eucharistic Bread. The world is full of evil, cold falsehood, and calculated hypocrisy.

 

However, the Word of God never lies dormant; the truth of its message does not succumb to oblivion. Its proclamation transcends far and wide, like the light of a lighthouse illuminating all continents.

 

From one end of the earth to the other, the outpouring of His Holy Spirit will soon settle in the heart of man. And though humankind may be ignorant of the subtle and unparalleled music of the harp and unaware of the enduring sound of the lyre, God allows them to clearly understand His Word, a message that never returns empty. A missive of love that extends from north to south and from east to west, so that every creature may know that God is the Glorious King of the Universe. The Almighty, He who gave humanity His Son, Jesus Christ, so that we may all live according to the truth expressed in the Holy Scriptures.

 

Wake up, people of God! Listen to the Word of the Lord always: a time of personal renewal and unity with the Father in Heaven. Gird your belts and renew your covenant with Him!… For the Lord declares and cries out to the four winds: “Return, you wayward children, for I am your master” (Jeremiah 3:14).
