Fr. Marc Lenneman joins Patrick to discuss this Sunday’s Gospel from John 3:13-17

 
Nicodemus comes to Jesus by night because he doesn’t understand how it is possible to be born again. Here we have the theme of salvation and eternal life being introduced in the Gospel of John for the first time. Also, the cross is a place of reality and it is a place where God’s love confronts our sins. We need to get back to the reality that Jesus is active in the World today. The way in which he fights is different but He is in our midst and manifesting His love as mercy. The cross is at the center of everything and it is where the love of God brings peace. It overcomes the chaos and overcomes the evil. (2:31)

 
Everything I learned abut love I learned by looking at the Cross

 
Peter - How does the sin against the Holy Spirit come into play?

 
We become like that which we contemplate

 
Patricia - The agony in the garden is related to what the Father was saying...he took on all of our sins and I had a reflection in Adoration 11 years ago I wanted share.
