 Gospel Jn 3:13-17 How to live the Cross Gospel Text: 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. Reflections: Today's feast invites us to contemplate the significance of the cross and the sacrificial love of Jesus, who selflessly gave his life to redeem humanity from sin. The Cross stands as a symbol of Christ's profound humility and unwavering obedience to God's will, even when it meant enduring a humiliating and agonizing death.

Thus you bear witness against yourselves that you are the children of those who murdered the prophets; now fill up what your ancestors measured out!" Reflections : Jesus again confronts the scribes and Pharisees about their pretentious ways. Today’s Gospel challenges us to look within oneself and examine our attitudes, t

 Gospel Mt 16:24-28 Taking up the Cross brings transformation...find out how Gospel Text: Jesus said to his disciples, "Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? Or what can one give in exchange for his life? For the Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father's glory, and then he will repay each according to his conduct. Amen, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom." Reflections: We live in a world taken over by the materialism. People seem happy and satisfied by   momentary pleasures and attraction of the world. Today Jesus challenges us saying “What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul”.
