Fr. Michael writes:-
:- In today’s Gospel a Pharisee talks to Jesus about God.
Nicodemus arrives under cover of darkness and he misunderstands
what the Light of the world is saying to him. This gives Jesus
the opportunity to clarify his meaning so he declares:- “God
loved the world so much that he gave his only Son.” God’s
supreme gift was given out of love. The Gospel also expresses
the hope that if we really believed God loved us, we would surely
emerge from our elected darkness. God wants to see us in the
light.
After all, as the second reading tells us:- “We are God’s
work of art, created in Christ Jesus to live the good life as
from the beginning he had meant us to live it.”
Congratulations
Congratulations and prayers to those who are to be
baptized today:- James Upson; Naomi Klenert; Lily Hutson;
Dylan Brooks; Luca Cimino; Holly Rogan and Milano Gabor.
