Who do you say that I am?

2 weeks ago | irishcatholic.com | Scott Richert

Who do you say that I am? The idea of union with God is, for most people, alternately attractive and terrifying. Attractive, because no matter how far we have fallen through the sin of Adam and our own personal sins, we cannot shake the feeling that such union is what we were made for by the very God to whom we desire…

“[T]here is no name, no experience, and no insight so akin to the everlastingness of God than what you can possess, perceive, and actually experience in the blind, loving awareness of this word, is,” writes that same author in another work, “The Book of Privy Counseling.”The awful (that is, awe-full) mystery that God revealed to Moses from the burning bush is “I AM WHO AM.” His name makes it clear that he is being itself, the very ground of our existence.
