Your best bet is to probably package this into an AppleScript, then saving and 
creating a trigger for “My AppleScript -> Run”

The script could be something like (if you’re getting your text from some 
terminal program. Otherwise there’s no need for the ‘do shell script’ part)

tell application "Quicksilver"
        set _text to do shell script "echo \"hello\""
        show large type _text
end tell
