hard-headed and hard-hearted people when they grew tired of waiting for him to
come down from the mountain and followed his brother Aaron in making and then
worshipping an idol (a golden calf).</font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><font color="#000000" size="3">
</font></span><font color="#000000" size="3">Moses who continued to intercede for the Israelites every time they

FORTY YEARS through the desert to the Promised Land.</font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><font color="#000000" size="3"> </font></span><font color="#000000" size="3">Yet, when they had finally reached their long
awaited goal, the Lord took Moses up a high mountain so he could get a chance
to see the Promised Land.</font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><font color="#000000" size="3"> </font></span><font color="#000000" size="3">There, Moses

ourselves out of consequences we behave ourselves into.</font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><font color="#000000" size="3"> </font></span><font color="#000000" size="3">That’s almost getting to be a </font><font color="#000000" size="3">St. Paul</font><font color="#000000" size="3">’s parish
slogan.</font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><font color="#000000" size="3"> </font></span><font color="#000000" size="3">Moses is the best example of
this.</font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><font color="#000000" size="3"> </font></span><font color="#000000" size="3">You might wonder- what sin could
Moses possibly have committed that was THAT BAD.</font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><font color="#000000" size="3"> </font></span><font color="#000000" size="3">As you may know, Bible scholars have varying
theories, but the most likely one is from what happened at Meribah when the
people complained and Moses struck the rock to produce water.</font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><font color="#000000" size="3"> </font></span><font color="#000000" size="3">What also happened was that the thirsty people
intended to stone Moses, so he went in fear to the Lord, probably making it
look to the people as if Moses did not trust God.</font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><font color="#000000" size="3"> </font></span><font color="#000000" size="3">In fact, in Numbers 20:12, God says to Moses
and Aaron, “Because you refused to believe in my power, these people did not
respect me.</font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><font color="#000000" size="3"> </font></span><font color="#000000" size="3">And so, you will not be the
ones to lead them into the land I have promised.”</font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><font color="#000000" size="3"> </font></span><font color="#000000" size="3">What’s the spiritual lesson for us?</font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><font color="#000000" size="3"> </font></span><font color="#000000" size="3">The same as three weeks ago when we talked
about not taking God’s name lightly.</font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><font color="#000000" size="3">
</font></span><font color="#000000" size="3">Don’t play with God.</font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><font color="#000000" size="3"> </font></span><font color="#000000" size="3">If we want
to be blessed, we must follow God’s ways.</font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><font color="#000000" size="3">

goal was.</font><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><font color="#000000" size="3"> </font></span><font color="#000000" size="3">Finally, while I knelt as an
