Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary.
God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son,
so that everyone who believes in him might not perish
but might have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
but that the world might be saved through him.
Whoever believes in him will not be condemned,
but whoever does not believe has already been condemned,
because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
And this is the verdict,
that the light came into the world,
but people preferred darkness to light,
because their works were evil.
For everyone who does wicked things hates the light
and does not come toward the light,
so that his works might not be exposed.
But whoever lives the truth comes to the light,
so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God. Jn 3:16-21
God gave us His Son. Jesus went through a most painful Passion and Death. He fulfilled His mission by resurrecting and saving us from Hell. Everyone deserves hell. We nailed Jesus to the cross with our sins. He took our place to reconcile us with God. Thank you. Jesus does not condemn us but He came to save us. We condemn ourselves by being selfish, not loving, and hurting others. We must make a decision to come to the light. Jesus conquered death, sin, and the darkness (evil). We enter the tomb with Jesus at our Baptism and receive new life. We receive the spiritual powers of intellect and will. In Baptism, we receive the Holy Spirit and the power to overcome sin and live a new life on earth and in heaven. If we do not come to Him, continue in the darkness/sin, we lose the power of the cross in our life. Jesus wants nothing more than for us to be in heaven with the Father, this was His entire mission for coming to earth, He wants it so bad He died for us. May we come to Him, give ourselves to Him, and repent (change our life, come to the light). God’s mercy is as big as the ocean compared to our sins, but we must come to Him and ask for this mercy. God’s grace is bigger than any sin or any multitude of sins. Allow Jesus to be “the one” in your life because as Fr. Mike Schmitz says, “You are Jesus’s ‘the one’!” Jesus is not near as concerned with your sins as He is you coming to console His heart bringing your brokenness, sinfulness, wretchedness, imperfections so that He can make you perfect. Be vulnerable, open up your heart, and allow Jesus in. He died to live with you here and now in this time and place.
Today’s challenge: Spend time in silence and listen to your heart to know who you are. Become the best version of yourself and share it with God. Use your spiritual powers, understand your mission through Baptism, and fight to make sure the power of the cross shines in your life. ”The greatest love is to lay one’s life down for one’s friends.” ”Love one another as I have loved you.” Don’t allow the regret on your death bed to be that you didn’t love enough.
#Christian YOLO
Be a servant, Become a saint!
Jesus wants the best for us and He is always there for us if only we would let Him in our lives.
To me this is saying that if you do not believe in God you die and not live with God in heaven, but if you do believe in him you will live forever in heaven with God and Jesus.
I learned that you do not want to be on your death bed and have not loved enough. Also that you should not condemn others but we deserve Hell but Jesus died for us so we do not have to.
This is telling us that God is the truth the way and the light. He is what is good in the world and is what we should follow everyday of our life. We should not follow the darkness or the devil he does not have the best interest at heart for us like God does. Everyone prefers to be somewhere warm and comforting that is God you don’t want to be in the cold darkness that is where the devil is leading you. That is what this Gospel told me.
We cannot worship something we do not know.
Everyone deserves to go to hell for the sins they have done but Jesus had saved us from the pits of hell so we need to thank Him for what He has done. We need to ask Him for mercy and repent for His grace is bigger than our sins. Allow Jesus into your life and He will make your life as good as it can be. Even if you are not perfect He can make you perfect.
Jesus is telling me today that he came to save us and be with us. He didn’t come to punish us. He doesn’t want to punish us, but we punish ourselves.
This scripture is saying that if we believe in Jesus with our whole hearts and souls and that we follow his teachings we will be saved. Those who do not follow his teachings do not believe in him and those who do not fully believe in him can not follow his teachings.
We need to follow Jesus because God gave up his only son for us so we could enter Heaven and be forgived of our sins.
God sent his only Son for us and we don’t believe. Jesus came and died the most painful way you could die and yet we still don’t believe. What more does Jesus do for us to believe?
The first verse sticks out to me a lot because it says that if we believe in Jesus we might have eternal life. That is our goal as humans to make it heaven. So if we follow this verse and all of Jesus’ other teachings we might make it to heaven.
God loved us so much that he let his son die for us, that is some strong love.
#praise him
We should believe in God and his teachings. We should have faith in him even when things are going wrong. People who don’t believe in him around have a place in heaven or hell and same for people who follow him. We need to stay strong and fight sin with Jesus. The\is is the way to heaven is believe in him and doing his will.
God gave his only son to die for us on the cross
We need to understand the teachings of the Church. We need to make the religion we where taught and fully make it our religion.
We need to stop following into temtation and follow the truth of God.It is important that we don’t condemn others,but make sure we forgive and gorw together in the body of God. God is our light all we need to do is follow.
this passage is saying a lot of things like God is here to save us not condemn us, but to save us.
Yesterday we experienced darkness in a way that kind of excites us kids. We had a power outage. This can be used in a way to describe out faith. Whenever we mess up we dim the light inside of us and once we commit a mortal sin we have a power outage. I feel like this is the best way to describe this because power outages are temporary and so is being in the state of mortal sin. How do you fix the power outage, by fixing the electrical wiring or putting the electrical posts back up. How do you fix being in the state of mortal sin. You go to Confession. You also have to rewire your brain to not do whatever you did again because then you will just keep having power outages in your soul. ¨God so loved the world…¨ God so loved the world that he gave us confession; he gave us the ability to fix our power outages. I will never forget one of Fr. Jarrod´s homilies he said to the whole school and to the parents in the back ¨Thank God He is unfair¨. I was completely shocked by him saying this. But then he explained it. Think if God were fair then we would only have one shot and there would be no second chances. It would be impossible to make it to Heaven because we all mess up at some point in our lives. Thankfully though God so loved the world that he is unfair with us and will always help fix our power outages no matter what. Fr. Isaac on this previous Divine Mercy Sunday started is homily talking about who the happiest people who that room were. He said how they were the people standing in line for confession, receiving confession or have already received confession that day. He went on to describe that feeling of pure joy and happiness that you have after you received confession. He is so right!!!! So always remember ¨God so loved the world…¨ and that He is unfair. He loves the world so much that he would die for us and give us Confession and all the other Sacraments. Thank you God for loving us so much and being unfair!!!
God sent His Son into this world to save us. Not to condemn us.
We need t understand that God sent his only son to save us need we don’t live up to his word and that we need to change
This is telling me that I need to thank God for all he has done for us and that we don’t thank him enough. He went through so much pain and suffering to save us, of all people. We need to thank him for everything.
God sacrificed his Son for us. Jesus endured the crucifixion for us. We need to stop focusing on ourselves but focus on God because he is amazing in all ways, and he is the one we should be trying to be like.
Jesus saved us from our sins and wants us to go to Heaven with him
Jesus is telling us that he cares for us and loves us and is showing us the right way to get to heaven. We need to see that and use His advice to get there.
This is telling us that God is the truth the way and the light. He is what is good in the world and is what we should follow everyday of our life. We should now give into the devil. The devil is what ever is easiest but not the best! The Lord is who we should follow!
This means I should believe in God or I will be condemn
If we believe in God with are whole heart mind and soul and follow in the ways of Jesus Christ we will be rewarded the reward of all rewards.
These verses are really important. To me they just help me stick with God and he i the way.
Sadly, some people think that Jesus came to put us all in hell. But that is not true at all! Though we deserve to be there, God sent his only-begotten Son to die on the Cross to save us from our sins, so that we can go to heaven! However, some people hate the light, so they stay away from Jesus.
God only wants the best for us because He loves us so much. He even sacrificed His Only Begotten Son for love of us. This is an example He wants us to follow. He loves us so much and wants us to love Him by serving Him and others as well.
When Jesus came unto the world, He knew that he had to save the world by crucifying Himself. The Crucifixion of Christ was extremely brutal, so that´s why we need to be grateful and follow the Word of Christ
God would stop at nothing to save us. He gave his life and his son to saving us. He is truly like a parent.
God gave us His only son to save us from our sins. Jesus didn’t become man, so that we could just kill him. He came down here to save us.
This is trying to tell me how lucky we are to have our God come to the lowliest of places, so that we may not perish. But have eternal life!
You cant be like God or be with God if you don’t know him. Therefore we should spend out time on earth to be like God and get to know him.
God loves us so much he let his only son die for are sin’s because he loves us so much we need to praise him till the end of the world and end of time
This means that God gave up His only Son just to save us and our sins. If we believe in Jesus, we might not perish, but will have eternal life in Heaven.
God wants us to follow what Jesus did, and Jesus was the savior of God. So God sent Jesus his only begotten son to be the savior of man, and for him to be our holy role-model.
To me, this means that we should always be grateful because Jesus took his life for ll of humanity and that we are nothing compared to him and all he has done.
Jesus is quite clearly stating that he is here to help us, just like our teachers at school. Jesus came to answer any question that we might have to help us achieve the most important goal. Heaven. He still remains here in the body and blood we see at mass, and in our hearts.
it shows how much God loves us that he would his only son to saves us from our sins. he sent his son Jesus to live among us- this would be the equivalent to us going down to be an ant- lowly humans so that we may enter into his house and have eternal life. this also represents how God is forgiving and no sin is too big for God.
Jesus says if we believe in him we will not die but if we don’t believe in him we will die
This scripture is telling us that God sent his only son Jesus Christ to save us and get us and get us into Heaven.
We must focus on what we are worshiping, as the first commandment states,” We shall not have any other gods before Him.” We also need to realize what we are taking things before God. Some people might want to stay home and play fortnite then go to mass. A big one is money,s stay with God, He is our light and our guide, He is everything we will ever need in our lives.
We need to not be tempted by the devil? and by doing that we can use the St. Micheal prayer?to help us with temptation.?
We have to stick to the light or we will be swallowed up by the darkness
We should respect all that God has provided us. We should also love everyone around us just as God so greatly loves us.? Also we should show respect for all that God has put on this Earth.?
This Gospel is saying that God sent his only son so that we may have glorious eternal life in heaven. If we exclude and ignore God from our whole life we will never be able to have eternal life with God, Jesus, the angels ?and the saints. We can’t let the devil get to us. We have to ignore him and exclude him not Jesus. We need to love Jesus with our whole hearts.❤
If we believe in God the father then we will have eternal life with him, and if we don´t believe in him then we will be condemned. Its not so simple, you can´t just believe in him and poof your in heaven. Instead we have to follow in his footsteps, actually become like him. We can´t just give up, we have to believe so we can make it to heaven. we have to be like God and pray, sacrifice all that we have, help the poor help the sick. Help the people that really need it the most to become just like him and make it to heaven. If you really actually factually believe in him then show it. Don´t just say, ¨oh I believe in him,¨ and not do anything about it. We have to actually believe. He cares about us, he sacrificed himself for the wrong things we have done. And you know what we did? We killed him, guess what he still loves us with all of his heart. We tortured him and then we killed him. Just for him to turn around and love us. If we believe we get to be happy with him, and if we don´t believe then we won´t have eternal life with him.
I think God is saying go for if.
If we believe and have faith in God we will be with him forever.
God sent down the son that he created in the womb of a human, and us humans treated Jesus like he was horrible. He did nothing wrong, and yet he was tormented by people that he had called friends. He died, rose, and came back again with pure love for us. After all that we had done to him! This just shows that we must have respect for Jesus.
John is telling us that Jesus was sent to save us, not condemn us, we can tell this because Jesus on the cross stated, “Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do” this line in scripture tells us Jesus came to save us and to give us mercy unending as he did to his final breath. God wants us to come to the light because if our works are good and all we do is good, we have nothing to fear, but there lays the problem, our works are evil and so we stay in darkness unless we head towards the light to look for help from our evil, to help get away from them and God wants nothing more than to have us be brought into the light and be spiritually and physically aligned with him for all eternity. The devil would want nothing more than to steal us from him, do not be afraid to head toward the light and ask for help.
We all deserve hell because of our sin. God’s love for us is so great the His resurrection granted us salvation.
The Gospel is telling us that God gave us the light of the world because everyone loved darkness over light. Yet, when Jesus came into the world people still loved darkness over light. Love the light. Love Jesus. Be not afraid, become a saint. In Christ alone my hope is found he is my light my strength my song!
We do not deserve God’s goodness yet He came to save us. If we follow and believe in Him we will be rewarded with Heaven, but if we fall away we will go to hell.
God is so willing to save us, and to show us His love, that he gave His one and only son, Our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is the light in our darkness, He is our safety net and He is never ever going to let us go. As long as we want, and have a desire for God we will not be condemned. God wants us to meet Him in heaven, that´s why He gave us His one and only son. Jesus then died out of love for us and knew it was His father´s will.
God is a very merciful God he came down from heaven to save us and gave us the sacraments and turned into the body and blood at mass making himself very vulnerable, he is Great.
Our lives are really messed up right now. We cannot ever worship God if our deed are evil. We need to come to the light and be forgiven instead of hiding everything we´ve done.
This is telling me that God sent his only Son to die for us so that we can be with Him forever. It is also telling me that I should live my life like how Jesus preached I should.
These verses some up the Passion for us. Jesus died on the cross so that we may be forgiven and enter into heaven with him. He brought light into the world, we just have to choose the light over the dark.
All those who want something will try and get it, we should always try and be kind to others, like God did, He gave his only Son for us.
This is saying that in order to get to Heaven we need to treat others like Jesus treated us, by dying on the cross for our sins.
This scripture is telling us that we must not be tempted by evil but rather be inspired and comforted by Jesus, the saints in heaven, and angels.
God loved us so much that He sent His only son to die for us. Many of us don´t truly realized how great this is. We try to always hide our evil deeds and not go to the light, but to worship God truly, we need to be forgiven.
God is saying we must trust in him the way the truth and the light. We cant be one foot in heaven and one in Hell. We must be with him in every fiber of or being. We have one path and that path is to God in Heaven. He will guide us to him
God love us so much that he gave us Jesus as an example to follow so that we can get to Heaven and be with him one day.
Jesus is trying to say that if we sin we will not go to heaven and we will not be able to be with him in heaven. We will never be able to hear his call, we will never be able to be with him, and we will also never be able to be i his presence and we will also never be with him in the spirit and if we sin than we are hurting him even more than we already do.
God is always there for us and he’ll always want the best for us and do anything to get us there
God is always there for us and will do whatever it takes to get us to heaven.
God is always there for us and will do whatever it takes to get us to heaven.
Jesus wants what is best for us. We need to focus n worshiping and and being less concerned with what people think of us.
This Gospel is saying that God sent his only son to came save us from our sins.We have to go to him when he comes to us.
This shows how God is more in love with us than we will ever be able to know. So in love with us that He gave us His only son to us to suffer and die just to save us. He even know that we would continue making stupid mistakes. He gave us Jesus to know that we have a way to be saved.
This scripture is telling me that God so loved the world that he created us and gave us life.
Jesus did not come down to Earth to punish us or make life harder on us, he came down to save us and save the world. God sent his son not because he hated his son or the world, but because he loved his son and the world. He sent his only son to save and not to be saved.
God is saying to believe in Him and trust even when times get rough.
God loves us so much, we would be fools not to appreciate all that He has done for us. We should love God with all our heart, our mind, and our soul.
The gospel today is telling us to live the light of Christ. We need to accept Him into our hearts. When we live in the light of Christ we know the ultimate truth. God is the way, the truth, and the life. We can work our way into Heaven by living in the light.
Jesus wants us to be like him by taking his spot on the cross. He wants us to show people what he really did for us.
We need to trust God because he sent his only son to die and save us and it worked out perfectly.
I learned that those who do not love or believe in God will be condemned. However those who do love and believe in God will live in Eternal Life with God forever. v
Jesus is telling me that He came to save us, and He did save us. He did not just save us because He wanted to, He saved us so we could be His friend and love Him because He Loves us.
God loves us so much he sent his only son to sacrifice himself for the good of humanity. We should treat him with the same love and respect he showed us. We can show him this by resenting the devil and praying.
This is telling me that I need to know and love god with everything i have because he gave his whole self for us.
This is saying that we need to worship something we know and something we know. So we can’t belive everything that is told from others. We need to thank Christ because we ll should go to hell for our sins but he saved us and we can go to heaven
I think God is saying that if we aren’t willing to make any sacrifices for him then we are not fullfilling our true purpose
God sent Jesus to us so that we would follow Him and go to Heaven and those who follow what Jesus taught will go to Heaven.
We should lover God with all our hearts minds and souls. His own Son died on the cross for us, if he can do that for us we can love him and pray to him. ??
God is showing us that if we believe in him and the Eucharist we will be saved. If we believe that Jesus is Lord and God raised him from the dead we will be saved.
This means we need to believe in Jesus to have eternal life. We need to come out of the darkness and believe in Jesus. He saved us by dying on the cross, so we need to open up our hearts up to Him so we can believe.
Jesus came to Earth to save us from our sins. Even though we do not deserve to be in Heaven, Jesus came so that we could be there. God gave his only son for us, we have to be willing to give Him everything we have – Pearl of Great Price – in order to follow him. We have to give everything up for God to make it into His Kingdom.
We need to give thanks to God and ask for forgiveness, if we do not ask we are growing farther from God and closer to the devil which is just terrible. If we want eternal happiness we need to ask for forgiveness of our sins and continue to grow closer to God. We need to be open to God and not ignore him but open our hearts to Him.
God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son,so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. What a beautiful verse. This verse pretty much depicts the whole reason why Jesus came for us. It is us who must choose God or the Devil, we either gather with Him or we scatter. When it comes to believing with God it is Yes or No. There is no maybe I believe, it is plain and simple, Yes or NO. There is just no other answer. When Jesus asks you if you believe in Him, will you say Yes or No.
This passage is saying how God wants the best for us, and he gave his one and only Son to save us from our sins. Jesus is always there to help us through our suffering. Don’t just give up and fall down. Jesus is always there for us. If we believe in Jesus, we might not perish, but will have eternal life in Heaven. We should love God with our heart, mind, and soul.
As humans we prefer to do evil rather than be holy. Those who choose to be holy enjoy it and preach to others.
God sent his only Son to save us but some of us don’t truly believe and we tend to just brush off our sins. We don’t fully trust in him and we fall deeper into darkness. Instead of coming into the light of Christ we forget about God in our lives and that is not okay because He gave us everything and Jesus sacrificed everything for us. He is the reason our lives are how they are we need to be more thankful for what we have.
We need to allow Him into our lives so we can have a personal relationship with Him. We can not have a relationship with Him if it is just Him wanting to have it with us. We have to put in effort also.
Jesus is saying that we either believe in him or we don’t. If we do than we can go to heaven with him because he died for us. If we don’t believe in him than we go to hell where we should go but since God is love straight threw he lets us go to Heaven
God loved us enough to die. Him, we are ants compared to Him. Yet He dies, day after day on the altar. His love is the greatest known, nothing compares to it. God is love, therefore we are loved by love. There is no greater love than that of love itself.
“For God so love the world that He gave His only begotten-son to save us”. God gave his only son to save us… mankind who are really are not worthy. He saved us so that we need not to worry to die.
