Second Week of Easter

John 3:31-36

Friends, today’s Gospel promises eternal life to those who believe in the Son of God.

In almost every religion, the life of faith has something to do with a creature’s relationship to the Creator;
nearly all religions speak of the creature’s dependency upon God, of his subjection to the divine providence,
and of his need for grace and forgiveness. Christianity, too, articulates these basic relationships,
but it pushes beyond them because it speaks of the Incarnation
and the gifts associated with it.

We hear in the third chapter of John’s Gospel that “God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son,
so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life.”
This well-known verse summarizes the Christian faith and gives expression to its distinctiveness,
for it speaks of the possibility that a creature might share in God’s own life.

The purpose of the sending of the Son was to gather the human race into the divine life—
the rhythm of the Trinitarian love—so that we might relate to God not merely as creatures but as friends.
You see, love becomes complete only when there is another who can receive fully what the lover wants to give.

+++The one who comes from above is above all.
The one who is of the earth is
earthly and speaks of earthly things.
But the one who comes from heaven is
above all.
He testifies to what he has seen and heard,
but no one accepts his testimony.
Whoever does accept his
testimony
certifies that God is trustworthy.
For the one whom God sent speaks
the words of God.
He does not ration his gift of the Spirit.
The Father loves the Son and has
given everything over to him.
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life,
but whoever disobeys the Son will
not see life,
but the wrath of God remains upon him.+++

Instead of complimenting false religions, Booby Barron needs to preach that only one religion is True and outside that Faith, there is no salvation.

Remember,
Bishop Barron is not writing or speaking to you, specifically.
Your saintly, holy and pious ways are so far above what the Bishop has to offer, you are not in need of his words.

Though he does believe, Christ came, not for the righteous, such as yourself, but for the sinners, and that of the sinners of the whole world- wherever they may be, that they too, may come to Christ.

You, already have your reward.

You have picked your poison, Murph. But you don't need to encourage others to drink it also.
