God's desire is not to 'become apparent' but to draw us into the Abyss of his Unknowable Life.
Homily for Wednesda in the Twelft Week in Ordinary Time, delivered in the Star of the Sea Parish Office Chapel, Gladstone, Qld.
"It happened that the word of the Lord was spoken to Abram in a vision, ‘Have no fear, Abram, I am your shield; your reward will be very great... Look up to heaven and count the stars if you can. Such will be your descendants’ he told him. Abram put his faith in the Lord, who counted this as making him justified... Now as the sun was setting Abram fell into a deep sleep, and terror seized him; the sun had set and darkness had fallen..." (cf. Gen 15:1-18).
"Be proud of his holy name, let the hearts that seek the Lord rejoice. Consider the Lord and his strength; constantly seek his face." (cf. Ps 105).
"Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Beware of false prophets who come to you disguised as sheep but underneath are ravenous wolves. You will be able to tell them by their fruits. Can people pick grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? In the same way, a sound tree produces good fruit but a rotten tree bad fruit. A sound tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor a rotten tree bear good fruit. Any tree that does not produce good fruit is cut down and thrown on the fire. I repeat, you will be able to tell them by their fruits.’" (Mt 7:15-20).
