This Week’s Gospel Message

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2020

This week’s Gospel Message for Sunday, June 7th is from John 3:16-18.

“God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.” Only a God of infinite mercy and unfaltering fidelity would make this ultimate gift to the human race. In fact, Jesus Christ was given by God in two ways: given to us in the Incarnation, sharing in our humanity, but also given over to death on the cross, redeeming us in our unworthiness. God is generous with love and with life, offering eternal life through the Son and sending the Holy Spirit to stay with us forever. Source: Pastoral Patterns, Summer 2020
