Ever wondered why #Michelangelo‘s Moses sculpture has horns? It is tied to his shining face upon receiving the 10 Commandments—the #Hebrew word for “rays” of light is the same as “horns.” The context makes the meaning clear—still, the Latin Vulgate translated the word as “horns.” pic.twitter.com/XJ6b4kWLzR

In today’s gospel, #Jesus cleanses the Temple of those who put money above God.

We are temples of the Holy Spirit. May Jesus cleanse us of worshiping politicians, political party, nationalism and power instead of the One true God.

Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus cleanses the temple. The temple was the economic, political, and religious center of life. And it was seen as the very dwelling place of God on earth.https://t.co/sEYl5UKSPW pic.twitter.com/cOEf2rbCvT

In this season of mass protests and riots over injustice in the United States, it seems like there is no better time to sit back and do a brief but serious look at the famous episode of Jesus’ “cleansing of the temple.” @realCoreyFarr takes us through it:https://t.co/ioV01DznVz
