The Lord came down; Moses went up!
Thursday, 16th week in Ordinary Time
Exodus 19:1-2,9-11,16-20; Mt 13:10-17
Is not faith all about this. .. the Lord coming down and we going up. .. the Lord reaching out to us and we responding! In many ways the Lord attempts to reach out to us each day. And here we are busy with our petty little worlds, calling ourselves names and holding on to titles. Won't the world do mighty well if it were to listen with all its heart and look with all its attention!
Through the retreat these days; the preacher yesterday made a remark about this God who intends to reach out to us by all means. Referring to Rev 3:20, he said the Lord does not merely knock, but he pounds on our doors! What a lovely imagery to impress on our minds the God who never gets discouraged with us, the Lord who is unbelievably merciful and the Lord who is madly in love with us. If only we would heed!
