A Light That Doesn’t Burn

Scripture  

Exodus 3:2–4 (NRSV)  

There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire  

out of a bush;  

he looked, and the bush was blazing, yet it was not consumed.  

Then Moses said,  

“I must turn aside and look at this great sight,  

and see why the bush is not burned up.”  

When the Lord saw that he had turned aside to see,  

God called to him out of the bush,  

“Moses, Moses!”  

And he said, “Here I am.”

Refrain  

The flame that calls is the flame that heals.

Quote

Thomas Merton  

“There is no way of telling people  

that they are all walking around shining like the sun.  

But it is true.  

If only they could see themselves as they truly are.  

If only we could see each other that way all the time.  

There would be no more war,  

no more hatred, no more cruelty,  

no more greed...  

But this cannot be seen with ordinary eyes.”
