17th Week of Ordinary Time C – Wednesday – Memorial of St. Peter Chrysologus
Today we find ourselves face to face with a beautiful image from the Book of Exodus: Moses descending from Mount Sinai, radiant—literally shining—with the glory of God. He doesn’t even realize it, but others see it clearly. His time with the Lord has left a visible mark. And yet, that radiance causes fear. The people shrink back. Moses has to veil his face—because the unfiltered glory of God would overwhelm his people.
