Sunday Afternoon Music Videos: Speak, Lord

For many of us today, the Gospel reading challenged us to be simultaneously open — to be able to hear and to speak — and silent — to hold deep within ourselves the mystery of what God has done for us. As I contemplate what it means to speak and to be silent, to hear and to be heard, to hold God within and proclaim him in the streets, I re-discovered this piece from Margaret Rizza's collection New Dawn. It's a gently haunting litany of ways in which we might hear the voice of the Lord: in the silence of the stars...in the heaving of the seas...in the words of a stranger...

What did you hear — musically or otherwise — proclaimed this weekend? Where do you go to listen to God's voice? Share with us in the comments, and perhaps we will all find new ways to listen.
