Abstract

The Theology of Listening in the Holy Scriptures moves towards Jesus Christ. It is a Listening of surrender to the One and Triune God, an imperative to put in practice the divine teachings with adoration, fear, and love. This practice reaches the ears and points to the Lord as a priority over all things, in an obedient listening to divine’s command-ments. In this sense, listening is not only a human sense of sounds perception, but also an intense way of understanding the divine’s plans with a commitment to the prayer practice. The Listening of God is a double path, where you hear and are heard. From this same perspective, the Christian must be available to listen to his brother in Christ. Therefore, listening to others is necessary and can happen in the Pastoral of Listening, a pastoral service offered by the Church which makes it possible to meet someone willing to listen to what suffocates the brother. Therefore, in this undergraduate thesis, the pro-cess of Listening in the Sacred Scripture will be briefly presented and discussed, which underlies the fraternal act of listening to others in a dialogue of love, affection, atten-tion, justice, and without prejudice.
