Set free to hear Christ — Diocese of Norwich

Set free to hear Christ

Published on: 24 February 2022

“Christ plays in ten thousand places, but being a sinner, I’m accomplished at ignoring his invitation and summons in every avenue of life. I need a little help liberating myself from my own habits of defensive selfobsession. Thereby I am set free to hear Christ address me in the psalms I recite each day and call me into life – in all its fulness.”
