Article 1 IN THE OLD TESTAMENT

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

2576
“Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his
friend.”²¹ Moses’ prayer is characteristic of contemplative prayer
by which God’s servant remains faithful to his mission. Moses converses with
God often and at length, climbing the mountain to hear and entreat him and
coming down to the people to repeat the words of his God for their guidance.
Moses “is entrusted with all my house. With him I speak face to face,
clearly, not in riddles,” for “Moses was very humble, more so than
anyone else on the face of the earth.”²²
