QUOTE : Ultimately what will help us to recognize and respond to God’s motions most easily and promptly is the interior development of a sort of “spiritual sense,” which to begin with we may not have at all or may have only in a very rough form. We can develop this sense by experience, and especially by faithfully and resolutely following our Lord.1 This “spiritual hearing” is a kind of ability to recognize, among all the multiple, discordant voices that we can hear inside us, the unique, unmistakable voice of Jesus. This sense is like a loving instinct that makes it easier and easier for us to distinguish the voice of the Spouse, in the chorus of sounds that greet our ears.
