God did not come to Prophet Elijah in the mighty windstorm, or in the earthquake, or in the blazing fire. God came to him in a gentle whisper. The Holy Spirit speaks to us in gentle whisper. He does not shout for He does not want the fearful submission of a slave but the sweet yes of a lover.
To prevent us from hearing God, Satan blasts us with many distractions, the most potent of which is sex. Everywhere we look, in billboards, magazines and movies, we see sex. Jesus warns us in the Gospel that this develops into lust and leads to pornography, masturbation, adultery, abortion and end in divorce and destruction of families. Against lust we are powerless.
Let us seek GOD in the solitude of the Blessed Sacrament, the Bible and Confession. "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see GOD." And they shall have peaceful lives and happy families.
