It was the strangest thing ...
This morning at prayer, I began lectio with Exodus 24 - when the Glory of the Lord covered Sinai and God called Moses ... the Lord was seen as a consuming fire ...
My first thought was 'this is so amazing that this reading is used to commemorate Hiroshima. I knew it was the feast of the Transfiguration, but I remembered it is also the anniversary of Hiroshima, and in my mind ... My 'confusion' was disconcerting for a moment - at my age that's a genuine concern. However, I've long wondered about the mystery of light which occurred on Mt. Tabor, foreshadowed in Moses' encounter on Mt. Sinai, and the 'mystery of iniquity' which detonated over Hiroshima on this date.
The mystery of iniquity.
That was the word I woke up to this morning - and it influenced my meditation - hence my idea that Hiroshima was a sort of 'epiphany' of the mystery of iniquity... fortunately, my personal meditations are not to be trusted.
Today is the anniversary of the death of Bl. Paul VI as well. Now he was a prophet... 'somehow, through some fissure, the smoke of Satan has entered the Church ...'
I wonder what could mean?
