You are Loved

Father Matthew Wiering Podcast

In today's Gospel we hear the magnificent verses from John 3:16-17: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever believes in him might not perish but 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." The 2nd reading from St. Paul is so similar: "God, who is rich in mercy, because of the great love he had for us, even when we were dead in our transgressions..." What do we believe God's attitude towards us is? How do we believe God feels about us? Do we believe he is disappointed, or frustrated, or angry, or indifferent? May the Word of God transform our mind so that we may believe that -- even when we are dead in our sins -- God has only one disposition towards us, which is love.
