Come and Go
Thursday, 15th week in Ordinary Time
Exo 3: 13-20; Mt 11: 28-30
The Word that dominates the first reading today is 'Go'... Yahweh sends Moses to the Pharaoh. The term that stands out in the short but sweet Gospel of today is, 'Come'... the Lord invites the burdened to rest. Come and Go...may look like two opposite words but the reason given for both the movements is the same. Because I am with you, says the Lord.
Coming and going...refer to the do docility of the chosen, the willingness and readiness with which a messenger of the Lord vows to act. Every day and in ways mysterious and means ordinary the Lord keeps sending us these instructions: come, go, speak, share, remain, endure and so on... are we prepared to listen and eager to act upon it?
