“Thus, the Lord passed before him and cried out, ‘The Lord, the Lord, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in kindness and fidelity.’ Moses at once bowed down to the ground in worship. Then he said, ‘If I find favor with you, O Lord, do come along in our company… receive us as your own.’”
We make the sign of the cross, we invoke the name of the Trinity, knowing we are a people of faith. The loving God, the creator, the redeeming Son, and the animating Spirit, the one God in three persons. May we take a moment to meet with Moses and his conversation in response to God’s selfrevelation. That trinitarian God reveals Himself, speaking of a merciful and gracious One, rich in kindness and fidelity and the absence of anger and wrath.
Today think about those gifts God possesses and showers upon us. I am afraid we fail to know and love that God who like, with Moses, asks us to bow and worship.
As you make the sign of the cross, think about it as your worship of God.
