Heavenly Father, as one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we are many form one body to find the place where we are supposed to fit into your body.

  Short reflection on Today's Gospel: (John 3:14-21)

Heavenly Father loves each one of us as if there were only one of us to love." God gives us the liberty to choose whom and what we will love. Jesus shows us the impossibility of love and judgment. We can love the darkness of sin and non-belief or we can love the light of God’s truth, beauty, and goodness. If our love is guided by what is true, and good and striking then we will choose for God and love him above all else. What we love shows what we rather. Do we love God above all else? Do we give him first place in our life, in our consideration, decisions and actions.
