St. Vincent Ferrer, pray for us!
In John’s Gospel we hear Jesus state that he is “I AM” not once but twice. These words echo back to the time of Moses, who was told by God that “I AM” is his name. Let us be clear: Jesus is Lord, the 2nd Person of the Trinity whose divinity will be fully revealed when we stand before him at the end of time. May we live accordingly!
