Thursday of week 15 in Ordinary Time
Saint Apollinaris, Bishop, Martyr
First reading – Exodus 3:13-20
God reveals His name to Moses. This is something very important for humanity. Humanity always wanted to define God according to its perceptions and calculations. Humanity wanted to create a God which suits its purpose. It’s in this context the name of the Lord is revealed. “And God said to Moses, ‘I Am who I Am.” God is God beyond all imaginations and calculations. God is one who liberates us. This is the Lord we must adore. Not the Lord of our imagination or our creation. Let’s reflect: Am I worshipping the true Lord or the lord of our creation?
