Dobby wrote: you're absolutely right. For many people today, time and a listening ear are what they truly need yet too often it's overlooked because it appears so unimportant. Yet listening is probably the most important gift you could give someone. It lets them know they are worth your time, their not a burden, something to throw away.
It was said that Mother Teresa, when she spoke to anyone, made them feel like they were the only ones in the room, as if nothing else existed and she could do this anywhere, even in the middle of a crowd. My priest friends can do this. It's something I pray for the grace to be able to do.
It makes a difference!
