St John of the Cross [M]

Num 24:2-7, 15-17 many neighbours of Israel see God speaks to them. Balaam has a glimpse but does not know God. Who am I like?

Mt 21:23-27 even priests and elders who claim to be religious are deprived of the knowledge of God. They hear but do not understand.

As Pope Francis says: I can never judge another but I can examine myself?
