GOD LOVES THE WORLD SO MUCH

PRAYER PAUSE        


Wednesday, 26 April 2017, St Mark


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.
