Notes
Our first reading this Sunday is the great story of Moses with the
burning bush. It is a wonderful story about the call of Moses; but, even more
so, it is a story that reveals to us a bit of the nature of God. In the story
God tells Moses he is on holy ground and he also reveals his name. This name
reveals a truth about God and a truth about us.
When I was in the seminary we studied the writings of St. Thomas
Aquinas constantly. I remember that Aquinas loved this story from
the Old Testament. Aquinas was always searching out information
about God and here was a story that revealed a lot. Aquinas saw in
the burning bush a revelation of the deepest mystery of a God who
could never adequately and accurately be conceptualized. There is no
other way to begin to talk about who and what God is other than to
say that God is existence itself. “I Am” he calls himself. The
source of the universe is not some mindless evolutionary process.
What created everything, from the heavens to your little toe, is
personal existence.
