Moses is different. Others receive the messages of God and are granted visions. They receive "riddles" but Moses sees the "form of God". Do we have any real idea of what this can mean? As usual when thinking about the mass readings I come face to face with a total unknowing and this is today's. I can understand Aaron and Miriam's jealousy. Their "Why him and why not me?" is a pretty familiar feeling for me especially about graces. But God's gifts are exactly what they are said to be. I am lacking in my knowledge of the Old Testament so I hope that we are to hear God's response to Moses' plea for mercy for his sister. All this happened such a long time ago and so many people have lived and died in this world but God still is and everything is a "now "for him.

Jesus is still living in Palestine and is walking on the Lake. So many wonders are to be performed before his arrest and trial that it is hard to believe that anybody could shout for his Crucifixion but we did. And we continue in our sinful ways. I am alone and so speak for myself in my banality. God knows me and he knows that I am a sinner who as a created free ego to Eternal Being ; face to face implore that a share in the grace of the Holy Spirit eternally present with the Father and the Son be truly accepted by me and all others to whom it is so freely offered.  

Dear Lord let me do better this day than I did yesterday and let my penitence be as acceptable as the pleadings of Moses.
