PRAYER MOMENT
Wednesday 17 July 2013
A BURNING BUSH
Pause. Be still
and recall that you are in the presence of God.
Reading. “I must
go and look at this strange sight,” Moses said, “and see why the bush is not
burnt.” (Exod 3:1-6, 9-12)
Reflection. Much
knowledge is available on the internet. When in doubt, google!. There is a way
of finding out most things. But the divine irruption into our world is not
available on google. It is revealed only to those who are chosen (Matt
11:25-7). In the time before the Son of God entered our world in flesh the
revelation was given to only a few patriarchs and prophets, like Moses and
Elijah. They were to be leaders of a people who “cannot tell their right hand
from their left” (Jon 4:11). But since the time of Jesus this revelation is
open to all who seek. And the seeking and the finding is a gift.
Prayer. We thank
you, Lord, for planting in us the desire to know you. Teach us to seek you in
all things. Reveal your presence in people – especially those who suffer – and
in the circumstances of my life and the
life o others. Amen.
