"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."
(John 3:16)
Today’s Gospel invites us to rest in the unshakable truth of God’s love—a love that moves first, gives first, and saves first. Let the Cross be our gaze today—not as a symbol of suffering alone, but as the place where love is revealed most clearly. Let us allow ourselves to be loved by God without condition, without earning, without fear and rest in the truth that God’s love is not a reward for the worthy but a gift for the world—offered freely, fully, and forever in Christ lifted up.
We should emulate God's immense love for us in our interactions with others by showing compassion, kindness, and selflessness. We should focus on spreading hope and encouragement rather than judgment and be a source of support and understanding for those around us. Let us contemplate the significance of the cross in our lives and let it remind us of the sacrifice Jesus made and inspire us to live a life of gratitude and service.
Dear Lord Jesus, we come before You with grateful hearts. Thank You so much for Your immense love for all of us. May we be able to emulate the same degree of love for one another. We believe in You as the essential key to eternal life. Strengthen our faith, for it is through You that we find salvation. As we reflect on our faith journey, inspire us to deepen our relationship with You through prayer, study, and community. As we contemplate the significance of the cross, remind us of the sacrifice You made for us. Let this profound act of love inspire us to live lives of gratitude and service. May we always remember Your sacrifice and let it guide us in all we do. In Your holy name, we pray. Amen.
