GOD LOVES
THE WORLD SO MUCH
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “Yes, God loves the world so much
that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not be lost
but may have eternal life.” (John 3 16-21).
Reflection. These words are the mature reflection
of the early tradition associated with John. They were written some sixty years
after the Ascension and they proclaim
the consolation of the Easter event.. The “saving” from sin and its consequences
is the work we are engaged in each day. And we do it in the context of the
power of Jesus who has come to live with us and struggle with us in the midst
of sometimes extremely difficult issues.
Prayer. Lord, help us to trust that you
are with us in the struggles we face. Amen.
