God's Astonishing Reversals: Part 4—Resonating Voices

About this sermon

At this time we hear various voices (like opera solos) that are not harmonizing well, both with each other or with all the voices given by God and His Church (e.g., Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, authoritative teachings of Holy Mother Church given to us down through the ages, the Liturgy, doctors, saints, approved prophecies, icons as well as the voices coming from inside the faithful soul, namely the sensus fidei and conscience). For us to know whether these voices are right and true, we need to hear the voices harmonize or resonate as they do in polyphony. This will signal the goodness of what is being spoken. It thrills the soul! If, however, someone comes forward with a strange idea ... or claims to have heard some lone voice, we should not immediately believe them. We must be patient and wait for the various voices of God to be heard... to see if they chime in to make the harmony occur before cooperating with these people, whomever they may be. In fact, we should resist them until this resonance is achieved. Thus, we could say, God voice works in a more polyphonic way rather than an opera solo.
