Today’s Time for Reflection at the Scottish Parliament was led by Archbishop Leo Cushley, who spoke about the importance not only of speaking, but of truly listening.

Archbishop Cushley reflected on how easy it can be for voices to be heard, but not truly listened to. He encouraged members of the new Parliament to develop “the art of listening” in the search for the common good.

“Let the Best Idea win — and let’s be listening out for it.”

Please keep all Members of the Scottish Parliament in your prayers as they begin this new parliamentary term and the important work ahead.
