Day 6: The Bush That Burned But Was Not Burnt Up
The Bush That Burned and Was Not ConsumedThe Burning Bush.The Virgin Mary.The Mount of Transfiguration.Three moments. One mystery.The God who appeared to Moses in the flame is the same Lord who dwelt in the Virgin’s womb and revealed His glory upon Mount Tabor.The Syriac Fathers saw in the Burning Bush a beautiful image of the Mother of God: The bush remained a bush. The Fire remained Fire.Neither was diminished.This is also our calling. God does not come to erase who we are. He comes to fill us with His own life.As we continue the Dormition Fast, may the light of Christ illumine our hearts and prepare us to behold His glory.
