In Chapter 11 of the Book of Numbers, we read the story of Moses being told to gather 70 elders of the people and to bring them to The Meeting Tent, a spot where "the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face." (Ex 33:11) After being touched by God, the 70 elders begin to prophesy. We consider in this homily how we too have been touched by God as temples of the Holy Spirit and are empowered to listen to God and to prophesy.
