He basically spoke the truth of the Gopsel as the Risen Christ and shared how his relationship with Christ influences and shapes every aspect and component of his life.
At the very end, the interviewer draws the conclusion (which Bono agrees with) that if he truly believes that Jesus is the risen Son of God that he will someday get to meet Him. If that was the case, the question then posed was, "What will you say when you meet Him?"
I thought Bono's answer was brilliant:
"That will probably be the first time in my life when I don't say anything."
Our lives are so full of noise and we are pressed by so many concerns and burdens in life, it's easy to allow our prayer lives to be filled with the noise of our own voices. What might happen if we realized that we are actually in the presence of the risen Christ and make a decsion to actually just be quiet for a change?
Fortunately, Lent is a season that invites us to enage in the discipiine of listening prayer....
