We are one family united in Christ, desiring to deepen our relationship with God and with one another.
Entrance Antiphon: Rejoice, Jerusalem! Be glad for her, you who love her; rejoice with her, you who mourned for her, and you will
find contentment at her consoling breasts. Responsorial Psalm: Let my tongue be silenced, if I ever forget you! Gospel Acclamation: Glory and praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ! God loved the world so much, he gave us his only Son,
that all who believe in him might have eternal life. Glory and praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!
Next Week: 5th Sunday of Lent, Year B. Readings: Jeremiah 31:31-34; Hebrews 5:7-9; John 12:20-30.
Have you thought? God in popular culture
Think for a moment of the last time you saw or heard a reference to God on a television program, in a song, or some
other popular medium. Chances are, the reference was one of a judging, vengeful, punishing God. This sort of image
plays particularly well with a modern audience. It’s easier to dismiss God as irrelevant if we can paint God in that sort of
image. TV sitcoms do it particularly well with thunderclaps, bolts of lightning and booming, disapproving voices from
above. It’s much harder to dismiss a God of love who will go to extremes to demonstrate that love.
Gospel Focus – Not to condemn …
The gospel passage tells us that God’s Son was not sent into the world to condemn it, but rather, ‘so that through him the
world might be saved’. It also tells us that whoever refuses to believe ‘is already condemned’. God does not condemn the
world, nor individuals within it. Indeed, God is absolutely determined to save the world. However, we do sometimes
condemn ourselves. When we turn our back on love; when we hide from relationships; when we wallow in
selfishness – we shut ourselves off from relationship with God and condemn ourselves. We only have to open our eyes
to see the alternative!
