WEDNESDAY 15TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME – YEAR II
MEMORIAL, ST. CAMILLUS DE LELLIS
Is 10:5-7, 13b-16 / Mt 11:25-27
ISAIAH 10:5-7, 13B-16
Woe to Assyria, the rod of my anger, the staff of my fury! Against a godless nation I send him, against a people who provoke my wrath I dispatch him, to plunder and pillage, to tread them down like mud in the streets. But the mind of his king is far from this, his heart harbors other thoughts; what he wants is to destroy, to make an end of all nations. For the king says: "By my own strength I have done this and by my own wisdom, for I am clever. I have moved the frontiers of peoples, I have plundered treasures, I have brought inhabitants down to the dust, I have toppled kings from their thrones. As one reaches into a nest, so my hands have reached into nations' wealth. As one gathers deserted eggs, so have I gathered the riches of the earth. No one flapped a wing or opened its mouth to chirp a protest." Does the axe claim more credit than the man who wields it? Does the saw magnify itself more than the one who uses it? This would be like a rod wielding the man who lifts it up; will those not made of wood, be controlled by the cudgel? Therefore the Lord, Yahweh Sabaoth, is ready to send a wasting sickness upon the king's sturdy warriors. Beneath his plenty, a flame will burn like a consuming fire.
MATTHEW 11:25-27
On that occasion Jesus said, "Father, Lord of heaven and earth, I praise you, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to simple people. Yes, Father, this is what pleased you. Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son, and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
REFLECTION
Until Moses met God in the burning bush, he did not seem to have had much to do with God at all. Moses' adoptive mother, the daughter of Pharaoh, had provided him with a good Egyptian education. But a good Egyptian education did not say anything about the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. There was no indication whether Moses was a religious person or not, until he met Yahweh in the burning bush – the moment God revealed Himself to Moses in a dramatic way.
Why did God choose to reveal Himself to Moses and not someone else? In today's Gospel Jesus says that his Father generally reveals Himself not to the learned and the clever but to those who least expect it.
Why God chooses one person over another is hidden in God's own mind. We cannot question God's intentions just to satisfy our own doubts and misgivings, nor is it important. We do know that God calls all men and women to the work of salvation. Let us learn from those whom God has selected to do a specific, important task that dedication and total giving of self should be our response to God as He calls us to do the work of salvation.
