can opt not to return the love that God pours out
to each of us. But this can only lead to
disappointment in the end. After all, God sent
his Son so that “everyone who believes in him might
not perish but might have eternal life.” Ultimately,
this means spending eternity in the Trinitarian
embrace of love. So why not start now?
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. - John 3:16-17
“God so loved the world that he gave his only Son.”
We are used to this profound idea, so used to it
that we often glaze over the incredible reality:
God the Father has a Son who became man and
dwelt among us! Too often we blithely make the
sign of the cross in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit, without realizing
what a radical theology we are announcing.
Only Christianity proclaims a triune God. Only
Christianity professes that we have one God in
three divine persons. Only Christianity declares
that the very nature of God is to be relational and
literally “personal.” Why does this matter?
Because we are made in God’s image, as the
opening chapters of Genesis tell us. We,
therefore, are made in the image of this
Trinitarian God who is love. We are built to be
like this God! Just as God the Father loves God
the Son and God the Holy Spirit, we too are
called to love one another. In fact, we are not
fulfilling our nature and design when we don’t.
And just as God loved the world (that is, us!) so
too we are called to love him in return.
We don’t have to embrace this image in which
we were made, of course. God gave us freedom
so that our love can be real, but this means our
choices really matter. We can decide not to
reflect God’s interpersonal love in the world. We
Do you have a gluten allergy? We now
have a supply of low gluten hosts that the
Bishop’s Conference has approved for use
in Catholic liturgies. Please advise the
priest or deacon before the Mass you
attend that you would like to receive a low

If you wish to have flowers placed on the
altar in memory of or for a loved one, please
call Pat Lassalle at 482-8807. Cost $50 per
arrangement.
