About the theme
‘Listening allows us to get things right, and not simply to be passive onlookers, users or consumers. Listening also means being able to share questions and doubts, to journey side by side, to banish all claims to absolute power and to put our abilities and gifts at the service of the common good.’ – Pope Francis
The power does not come by positions, but by listening to others and keeping your abilities for common good. How many times in life do we overpower others instead of sharing what we have? How many times I have been selfish without understanding the needs of others? How many times did I remain passive in spite of witnessing the pains of others?
These are the questions I need to reflect upon if I wish to be a listener.
The proposed study day of SIGNIS ASIA cordially invites you to explore ways and means to listen to others to make our existence meaningful on earth.
The theme: Listening with ear of the heart
Objective: To sharpen our ‘listening ability’ to see the world around us more accurately, an indispensable ingredient of dialogue and good communication.
