Silence and the Audibility of the Word: Contemplative Listening as a Fundamental Act of the New Evangelization. Part 3: Christ Reveals Man to Himself on Calvary

Summary/Abstract: In the third part of her arguing for contemplative listening as a fundamental act of the new evangelization, the author shows that the concrete place where the anthropological and theological dimensions of listening converge is at the foot of the Cross. Man discovers the truth of his being as silent listener in his encounter with Christ by standing with Mary under the Cross, which is the place where, with her, he participates most fully in Christ’s eternal being as Listener; as such, he becomes a participated revelation of that act, thus making Christ audible to the world in what thereby becomes the basic exercise of the new evangelization.
