The art of communication

In today's Gospel (Lk 11: 29 - 32) Jesus talks about repentance and in the first reading from the Prophet Jonah (3: 1 - 10) God sees the efforts made by people to renounce their evil behaviour.

Surely communication is an important ingredient in understanding the other person. Forgiveness and communication complement each other.

How often do we genuinely understand where the other person is, especially those with whom we disagree? Communication is more than telling our story.
