Set Apart
17th week in Ordinary Time
Exodus 40:16-21,34-38; Mt 13: 47-53
Moses did exactly as the Lord had directed him. The first reading begins thus. And that is what set Moses apart! Joshua would soon be following suit. We are constantly being judged. ..not by God nor by the world but by our very actions and our choices. We are set apart as people of God but that is no guarantee that we will remain so forever. Just as we were set apart we could be set aside too, again depending on our choices and our readiness to do as God directs! The Lord is present among us, as pointed out by the tabernacle that Moses made. It is a clear message sent to the people and to us: God dwells amidst us; God is with us. God shares our lives. We are set apart to do exactly as God directs. If we fail we would be consequentially set aside! Wish to be in the net? Or to be cast away?
