THE
CLOUD
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “At every stage of their
journey, whenever the cloud rose from the tabernacle the sons of Israel would
resume their march. If the cloud did not rise, they waited...” (Exodus 40:34-38)
Reflection. Our exerpts from Exodus close
with an elaborate description of the construction of the Ark of the Covenant
and we are told that the “cloud rested on it and the glory of the Lord filled
it.” As always, we reflect on the meaning of these “signs” which are themselves
prophecies that there will be a “new covenant in my body” and “my Fatrher and I
will dwell in you.” The cloud remains in that the mystery we live is often
hidden from us. We are wise when we make no important decisions until the cloud
lifts and we can see our way more clearly.
Prayer. Lord, help us to be
sensitive to your presence and wait for you. Amen
