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.     more...
