It is the concrete expression of what full communion can mean. And I congratulate the planners on picking the story of the burning bush as one of the lessons for this occasion. Certainly there is nothing like a fire to draw a crowd. And the next best thing to a fire is a construction site. It is not just the fact that heavy equipment is doing heroic things with digging and lifting and moving earth.
People are curious.
Then come steel workers and masons and carpenters to give it shape and character. Subtle changes every day. People just have to look. But the deeper fascination of the burning bush is not that it is on fire, but that it is not consumed. But in fact his question will never be answered.
