Sacrament Information
Congratulations to Tai, Hunter, Edith, Amira, Grace, Niklaus and Nikolai that made sacraments of First Communion and Confirmation on the weekend. We are all very proud of you!
Gospel Reading – John 3:16–18
Jesus said:
“For 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. For God did not send the 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.”
Summary
This Gospel reminds us of the great love God has for every person. God showed this love by sending Jesus into the world. Jesus did not come to judge or reject people. He came to save them and bring them closer to God.
Through faith in Jesus, we are offered hope, forgiveness and eternal life. This passage encourages us to trust in God's love and to live as people who believe in the message of Christ.
Reflection
- How have I experienced God's love and care in my life recently?
- What is one way I can show the love of Jesus to someone this week?
