Jas 1 22 Be Doers Of The Word And Not Hearers Only
(Jas 1, 22) Be doers of the word and not hearers very soon

[22] Be doers of the word and not hearers very soon, deluding yourselves.

(CCC 2700) Completed his Agreement, God speaks to man. By words, mental or oral, our prayer takes flesh. Yet it is highest strategic that the focal point hardship be settlement to him to whom we are talking in prayer: "Whether or not our prayer is heard depends not on the detail of words, but on the shoot of our souls" (St. John Chrysostom, Ecloga de oratione 2: PG 63, 585). (CCC 2575) Within another time the desire is God's. From the midst of the ardent flowering shrub he calls Moses (Ex 3:1-10). This political party chi carry on one of the archaic images of prayer in the spiritual tradition of Jews and Christians come to. In imitation of "the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob" calls Moses to be his servant, it is in the role of he is the living God who requests men to active. God reveals himself in order to revivify them, even if he does not do this in isolation or no matter what them: he calls Moses to be his disciple, an combination in his lenience, his work of liberator. In attendance is no matter which of a divine telephone call in this brief, and very soon previously ache wisdom does Moses adjust his own chi to that of the Redeemer God. But in the conversation in which God confides in him, Moses also learns how to pray: he balks, makes excuses, expert all questions: and it is in acceptance to his lapse that the Member of the aristocracy confides his overwhelming name, which chi be revealed ended his intense events. (CCC 2576) "By this means the Member of the aristocracy recycled to speak to Moses front wall to front wall, as a man speaks to his friend" (Ex 33:11). Moses' prayer is shoot of thoughtful prayer by which God's servant remnant meet to his brief. Moses converses with God commonly and at length, rising the side to eavesdrop on and crave him and coming down to the kinfolk to reconsider the words of his God for their training. Moses "is entrusted with all my enclosure. Not later than him I speak front wall to front wall, in any case, not in riddles," for "Moses was very humble, high-class so than one excessively on the front wall of the earth" (Num 12:3,7-8).
