Homily
for July 19, 2017
No human
being is born useless. God has a plan for every one of us; a purpose for our
existence; a fundamental task we are meant to achieve. Moses’ purpose was to lead
the people of Israel out of Egypt but it was in the burning bush that he
eventually discovered his purpose.
All the
while Moses was growing in the house of Pharaoh, he never really knew his life
had such a purpose. He only knew he loved his fellow Hebrews and could not
stand the sight of an Egyptian oppressing any one of them but little did he
know that right within his passion for the Hebrews contained his purpose in
life.
It was in
the burning bush that God spoke to him in very clear terms.
Dear
friends, the burning bush represents an aspect of us that is constantly on fire
yet never consumed. The burning bush are those innate passions we have which we
sometimes ignore yet, if only we face them, we would discover the voice of God
calling from the heart of the fire.
What are
your burning passions? Do you know why you love or hate certain things? What do
you really care about? Perhaps, you may not have taken your time to really ask
yourself these questions but it is never too late. You need to visit your
burning bush today.
Let
us pray: Lord Jesus, open my heart to know why you made me. Amen.
Be Happy.
Live Positive. Have Faith. It is well with you. God bless you. (Wednesday
of the 15th Week in Ordinary Time. Bible Study: Exodus 3:1-6, 9-12
and Matthew 11:25-27).
