I am, who am. This phrase has quite an expanded definition depending on how you interpret it. Father George’s Homily on Saturday morning mass during RYC defined it as “It is I, and I am present”.
The word present stood out for me after I heard that, and it became so evident for me that I should be more appreciative of my blessings in the current time.
Like that famous quote from Kung Fu Panda
“Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. But today is a gift, and that is why it’s called the present.” – Master Shifu
The Lord truly reminded me to appreciate the present through His presence.
Being in the midst of our RYC this past weekend. I’m truly affirmed of His existence just by seeing my brothers and sisters share their time, talent, and treasure. From Creative Competitions, to Sports, and the excitement and energy of the Awake Fair, I could honestly say that it was a celebration with the Lord being with us throughout the whole event.
Reflecting on this year’s RYC anchor verse (Matthew 7:7-14) “Ask, Seek, Knock”, I learned that the Lord wanted me to come, approach, and be united with Him. And when that happens, we are all able to do His wonders!
When two or more are gathered in Your Name, You are truly present
In Christ
