girl the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit the grace of our lord jesus christ and the love of god a reading from the book of exodus as moses came down from mount sinai with the two tablets the commandments in his hands he did not know that the skin of his face had become radiant while he conversed with the them did aaron and all the rulers of the community come back to him moses then spoke to them later on all the children of israel came up to him and he enjoined on them all that the lord had told him on mount sinai when he finished speaking with them he put it they all over his face whenever moses entered the presence of the lord to converse with him he removed the veil until he came out again and coming out he would tell the children of israel all that had been commanded and the children of israel would see that the skin of moses face was radiant so he would again they all over his face until he went to converse with the lord lord and he answered boldly that aboard our god from the pillar of cloud he spoke to them he heard they heard his to create and the law he gave them the lord be with you reading from the holy gospel according to matthew just last night i got a text from some of my persian or so my st parish and a lady passed away in the dominican republic and she was i've known her for almost fifty years and she was a one hundred and five years or so she certainly had a long a long life and yet her family is still very very sad she was a great great grandmother of many many kids and a very good christian good catholic  from her earliest days so please remember her in your prayers my friend's mother today we celebrate the feast of st ignatius loyola and the other yesterday i had just been on and i said this is the perfect vestments for tomorrow meaning today because this is the symbol of the jesuits it's the symbol of christ but the jesuits the followers of sin ignatius loyola are the people that who order he founded for for all of these years this is what they use as their remembrance since i've told this before and in some time you may have heard it so bear with me maybe not everybody has it looks like it says i h s if you look up getting dizzy if i do it right at the top of st patrick's we also have the same symbol of without without the starbursts and those three letters sometimes people say well it means i have suffered or in his sign doesn't mean any of that three letters from greek ada sigma and those are the st three letters of the name remembrance of the name of jesus as something that for all jesuits and for all of the people that they taught in that they served would remind them of the importance of jesus in their lives in the church in education  and god will continue to bless them and show them the right way to follow god in everything they do they say and how they teach today's st reading from the book of exodus told of a very a very beautiful aspect of the life of moses that his face became radiant after he had talked with god and then when he went to the people and told them what god was talking to them about he shared only  the instructions that he had from god but also the effect of what god did for him giving him this space that would be radiant in shining and giving the people an understanding that something very very important and  good and holy was happening in his lives i think most of us if we talk about somebody with a radiant face we love to say that are allowed to see that i know teachers when they look at their children their students in the faces are radiant because they no answers are because they want to share something important in their lives with them but their teachers are with their classmates are very moved to happiness by the radiance of people spaces and i think most of us if we see a gloomy face would say to ourselves oh i'm so sorry about this poor person he has or she has a gloomy face today wonder what's happening in their lives the radi that moses had came from god the radiant so we can have in our spiritual life and the way we bring our spiritual life into our daily light our work our home our neighborhood that if we let ourselves it's a very positive thing i think if we let ourselves be happy and excited about the fact that we are followers of jesus i like ignatius but also like all of us who have been since our baptism followers it is that radiance should come out of us and people should be able to see the radiance that makes us believers and practitioners of our christian catholic faith the name of the of
