Scripture: Exodus 3:13-15

In the scripture lesson God declares “I am who I am.” In this prayer Francis affirms who God is by words God has spoken of Godself and by God’s mighty acts. While the prayer is very comprehensive about who God is and what God has done and is doing, it is not exhaustive. Each child of God based on his or her knowledges of God as revealed in the scriptures and in one’s experience can add to that list. In your prayer life today how would you describe God? What might you add that St. Francis omitted?
