Listen to Your Conscience • Tue.04.21.26

God does not always speak in thunder. Sometimes His direction comes through the quiet honesty of conscience.

God does not only guide us through big signs.

He also speaks quietly within us, through conscience, in the present moment.

Listening takes honesty and courage.

Today, we pause before one decision and listen carefully to what God may be asking of us.

Based on the Word of Life, June 2005, by Chiara Lubich, Servant of God.

✝️ Prayer to Listen Within

Lord, help us hear Your voice within our conscience. Give us the courage to follow what You ask, even when it is not easy. Amen.

A prayer a day, keeps the soul from drifting away

Saints Paul Miki and Companions—Choosing Not to Lie

When lying would have been easier, a different choice was made.

Paul was a Japanese Jesuit preacher. He lived during a time when Christianity was banned in Japan. With him were 25 other Christians, later known as the 26 Martyrs of Japan.

They were arrested in late 1596 and executed on February 5, 1597, on Nishizaka Hill in Nagasaki. The execution was public and intended to suppress the Christian faith.

While on the cross, Paul Miki spoke to the crowd. He forgave those who condemned them and remained faithful until death. None of the 26 renounced their belief.

People today often lie or deny over small matters to avoid discomfort or inconvenience. Saint Paul Miki and his companions did not lie or deny their faith, even when it meant death.

Let’s keep learning the saints’ way—day by day.
