as Moses lifted up the serpent

Monday, September 14, 2009
Exaltation of the Holy Cross (Feast)
First Reading:
Psalm:
Second Reading:
Gospel:
Numbers 21:4-9
Psalm 78:1-2, 34-38
Philippians 2:6-11
John 3:13-17

John 3:14  And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of man be lifted up,

The idea is that they had to believe that it would make a difference if they looked at the serpent.  If we don’t really believe we will not truly look to Jesus in our trouble.  To truly look to him means to trust that he is there and loves us no matter what is happening or how bad things appear.

Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to always trust that you are there.

Amen
