VincentWiki:Reflections/4 2007

From VincentWiki

What effect God’s word will have on the listener, it all depends—I said last week—on God, on what he wants to realize in the hearers or on the end for which he sends his word. Now, to acknowledge that the efficacy of the divine word depends on God is to acknowledge as well the autonomy of God and of his word.

But it is not easy, it seems to me, to get to respect divine autonomy genuinely and let God tell us what he wants to tell us.
