What if the greatest obstacle to hearing God isn’t the noise around us, but the noise within us? In this searching sermon, John Tauler explores what he calls our spiritual “deafness”: the ways temptation, self-love, pride, and distraction can make us unable to hear the quiet voice of God within. More uncomfortably, he warns that even our religious practices can become part of the noise when outward devotion replaces genuine interior transformation. But Tauler does not leave us there. Christ is the One who opens the deaf ear. Through humility, gratitude, surrender, and the work of the Holy Spirit, we learn again to hear God. That hearing begins to reshape how we suffer, how we see ourselves, and especially how we love other people.
I must admit, I found this one particularly convicting while working on it. Perhaps you will too.

John Tauler (1294-1361) “Giving God Good Measure”
God is astonishingly generous with us. But what measure are we giving Him in return? In this sermon on Luke 6:36–38, John Tauler takes Christ’s words about “good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over” and turns them into a searching examination of the spiritual life. God pours out His mercy and grace abundantly, yet we can respond with little more than outward observance, shallow devotion, or even judgment of those around us. Tauler points us toward something greater: a life overflowing with interior love. It is charity, he says, that gives life to every other virtue and transforms our relationship with God and neighbour. Humility, repentance, and genuine devotion open the soul to receive, and then return, the overflowing measure God desires.

Chrysostom 3 (347-407) On Seeking Signs and Living Lives That Convert the World
What if the most convincing sermon you will ever preach is the life you live?
In this brief but penetrating conclusion to his Homilies Concerning the Statues, St. John Chrysostom reminds us that God is not looking for spectacular signs but for transformed lives. He warns that those who have received the fullness of the Gospel will one day be measured against people like the Ninevites, who repented with far less light.
His challenge is both sobering and inspiring: let your life become a continual miracle. A spirit marked by gentleness, purity, self-control, patience, and faithful obedience speaks more powerfully than eloquent words, drawing others to Christ while keeping our own hearts fixed on our heavenly home.
