The most unlikely vision of God's reality; a fire in a  bush. Moses was sure that he did see God. The burning bush was the Being of God. Eternity touches our world. God's revelations of himself to the Jews is the source of our belief in God; the cause of our striving to grasp hold of the source and meaning of life. Jesus the complete God  who is Man shares the genes of Moses. At the time of Moses, Egypt was the great power and had an intellectual elite. God didn't choose one from the elite to receive his revelation but Moses a poor soul in the vastness of the desert. Jesus praises God for not revealing the Son to the "learned and the clever" but to the "little ones" who are chosen by Jesus.

In these days, have we all become learned and clever and so are ignored by God? How are we to become the "little ones" the poor when we in live in a world which has grown so much since  Jesus' day. The "learned and clever" provide answers to both these questions We can  live with "material wealth" without becoming attached to it . The patrimony of Peter must be protected. The virtue of poverty is extolled but nobody chooses to be poor except our vow-takers who lack for nothing and used to crowd out our airports together with the  Pope's "Airport Bishops". I have to love know God love him and obey him. I do not have to be comfortable in my Faith, but I must be certain that I am chosen by Jesus in my baptism and that I can can face death with confidence in the Lord's mercy.

Dear Lord help me to to follow you in everything that I do; may I never lose sight of your being knowing  that everything that is is because of You.
