Moses had an important mission that would change the course of history, but before setting out he was called to be humble and pure before God. Our mission may not be to lead the Chosen People, but we are called to be an example for the people God has chosen for us: our families, friends, coworkers and fellow parishioners. Before setting out each day, take a moment to stand on holy ground in the presence of God in prayer.
Like Moses, we need to be purified this Lent. There is no better way than to go to sacramental Confession. Bring yourself to the holy ground of the confessional, take off your “shoes” – your pride and self-attachment – and come before the Lord in the person of the priest. God is not out to destroy or condemn, but to save you.
