Gospel:
John 3:13-17
Jesus
said to Nicodemus: “No one has gone up to heaven except the one who has come
down from heaven, the Son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in
the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes
in him may have eternal life.”
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 his Son
into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through
him.

Reflection:
What does the cross signify to you?
What does the cross signify to you?
The cross
is a sign of suffering for many but it is essentially a sign of triumph for
without the cross where Jesus was nailed there would have been no salvation for
all of us. Where would we be without Jesus giving His life on the cross?
Let us
not be intimidated by the daily cross that we carry for we have Jesus with us
to help us carry it. We have Jesus to make this cross light. Let us always
learn to entrust our cross to Jesus. Let us call on HIM and ask HIM to help us
carry it.
Count
yourself fortunate if you know Jesus deeply because you have someone at your
beck and call every time you have trials and crosses in your life. You have
someone whom you can always look up whenever life’s trials come your way.
How about
those who do not know Jesus deeply or who do not know Jesus at all? Of course
they are in a disadvantageous situation but all is not lost because you are
there. And your role is to introduce and give Jesus to them. – Marino J.
