Remember too how the face of Moses shone as he came down from Mount Sinai with the stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments in his hand; he had been in communion with God. When Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come near him (Exodus 34:30), and Moses had to put a veil over his face. In the same way, when we get really into communion with God, he lifts up his countenance – his image – upon us, and instead of our having gloomy looks, our faces will shine, because God has heard and answered our prayers.
