Had he ever had a vision or seen God face-to-face? After a long silence the abbot answered frankly: no, he hadn鈥檛. But, said the abbot, there wasn鈥檛 anything surprising in this because even to Moses in the Book of Exodus (33:19鈥20) God said, 鈥淵ou cannot see my face; for no one shall see me and live.鈥 God says that Moses will see his back as he passed by him. 鈥淭hus,鈥 Father Kolvenbach wrote, 鈥渓ooking back over the length and breadth of his life the abbot could see for himself the passage of God.”
