Exodus 3:1-6, 9-12 / Matthew 11:25-27    

Most of the time, faith goes along with reason.

The aspects of faith can be understood with reason, but up to a point.

Beyond that point is what is called the leap of faith.

And that leap of faith is a leap into the mystery of God.

In the 1st reading, when Moses saw the burning bush, he was astonished because the bush was blazing but it was not burnt up.

It was a strange sight and beyond reason, so he went on to see what was happening.

And with that, he went on to encounter the mystery of God.

When certain aspects of our faith go beyond our reasoning, let us know that God is inviting us to a revelation of His mystery.

Let us be like little children who will wonder at the mystery of God and who are open to encountering God’s revelation.

Then we will be enlightened by the mystery of God’s wonderful ways.
