A BURNING BUSH

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.
