Prayer

Bless the Lord, whose name is to be praised,
Our Father who art in heaven,
who has given us his laws,
to show us the error of our ways,
Blessed is his son, Christ the Messiah,
who redeemed us from having broken them.
Blessed are you, O Holy Spirit,
who assists us in sinning no more,
and sustains us in the way of the Lord,
grant us wisdom and understanding this day.
Amen.

Old Testament Reading - The Shining Face of Moses

thumb

29Moses didn’t realize as he came back down the mountain with the tablets that his face glowed from being in the presence of God. 30Because of this radiance upon his face, Aaron and the people of Israel were afraid to come near him.

31But Moses called them over to him, and Aaron and the leaders of the congregation came and talked with him. 32Afterwards, all the people came to him, and he gave them the commandments the Lord had given him upon the mountain. 33When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face;a 34but whenever he went into the Tabernacle to speak with the Lord, he removed the veil until he came out again; then he would pass on to the people whatever instructions God had given him, 35and the people would see his face aglow. Afterwards he would put the veil on again until he returned to speak with God.

. . . . .Exodus 34:29-35
  1. So that the people would not see the glory fade; see 2 Corinthians 3:13.
