This mountain is in the country of Jordan, looking west to the Holy Land. Perhaps the mountain from which God showed Moses the Promised Land which Moses never lived to enter.
Reflecting on what we call the ten commandments ("ten words" in the Hebrew) in this Sunday's first reading (Exodus 20:1-17) got me thinking of how very much we owe the Jewish people. Most of all the Bible. We forget that even the New Testament, the Christian writings, were written by Jewish people.
