Thursday of week 15 in Ordinary Time
First reading Exodus 3:13-20
In today’s reading, God reveals His name to Moses as “I Am who I Am”, a name that defies all human categories and resists every attempt to limit or control the divine mystery. This revelation is not an answer meant to satisfy curiosity, but an invitation to enter into the vastness of God’s being, where eternity touches time and the ungraspable becomes near. It reminds us that God is not a concept to be understood, but a Presence to be encountered. Rather than fitting Him into our frameworks, we are called to let go of our need for control and allow ourselves to be drawn into His freedom and depth. This divine self-disclosure opens a door to faith that rests not on clarity, but on trust, a trust in the One who is ever-present, ever-faithful, and beyond all that we can imagine. Today, we are challenged to approach God not with definitions, but with reverence, allowing His mystery to transform our limited understanding into awe and surrender. Let’s reflect: Am I willing to let go of my need to define or control God, and instead open my heart to trust and encounter the mystery of who He truly is?
