Exodus 3:1-6, 9-12 <*{{{{>< + ><}}}}*> Matthew 11:25-27
Praise and glory to you, God our loving Father! You are so "kind and merciful for you pardon all our sins, heals all our ills; you redeem us from destruction, and crowns us with kindness and compassion" (Psalms 103:3-4).
Therefore, I pray, O God for each day that I may always receive and cherish your gifts, recognize your love for me despite and in spite of my sinfulness and weaknesses like Moses whom you have called after he had fled Egypt for a crime; let me have that same sense of wonder and curiosity in finding you, in hearing you, in following you; the whole earth indeed is sacred, belonging to you, O Lord; let me take off my shoes, walk barefooted to feel your presence and answer your call to send me to those crying for your help, for those numb in experiencing your presence and coming.
Let me be like children open and trusting to your revelations found in the simplest and most ordinary things in life unlike the learned who overthink, holding on to their beliefs and convictions, without any room for surprises, seeking certainties, solving the unsolvable mysteries in life long revealed in Jesus Christ your Son and our Lord. Amen.
