“For 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 (NABRE)

“ORIGINAL BLESSING”
Genesis 1:27-28, 31
God blessed them and God said to
them: Be fertile and multiply; fill the
earth and subdue it.[ Have dominion
over the fish of the sea, the birds of
the air, and all the living things that
crawl on the earth.

God looked at everything he had

made, and found it very good.
God created mankind in Evening came, and morning
his image; in the image of followed—the sixth day.
God he created them; male
and female[f] he created
them.

LOST SON
LUKE 15:11-32
 Coming to his senses he thought, ‘How many of my
father’s hired workers have more than enough food to
THE PARABLE eat, but here am I, dying from hunger. I shall get up
OF THE and go to my father and I shall say to him,
LOST SON
LUKE 15:11-32 “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against
you. I no longer deserve to be called your son; treat
me as you would treat one of your hired workers.” So
he got up and went back to his father. While he was
still a long way off, his father caught sight of him, and
was filled with compassion. He ran to his son,
embraced him and kissed him. His son said to him,

‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against

you; I no longer deserve to be called your son.
’But his father ordered his servants, ‘Quickly bring the
finest robe and put it on him; put a ring on his finger
and sandals on his feet. Take the fattened calf and
slaughter it. Then let us celebrate with a feast,
because this son of mine was dead, and has come to
life again; he was lost and has been found.

 GOD’S LOVE IS REFLECTED ON HIS CREATION.

GOD’S LOVE IS DESCRIBED IN THE PARABLE OF THE

FATHER AND HIS TWO SONS.

BUT THE FULLEST REVELATION

OF GOD’S LOVE IS THE
SENDING OF THE SON TO
SUFFER AND DIE THAT WE
MAY HAVE LIFE ETERNAL.
John 14:26-27:
“ The Advocate, the Holy Spirit that
the Father will send in my name - he
will teach you everything and remind
you of all that I told you. Peace I
leave with you; my peace I give to
you. Not as the world gives do I give
it to you. Do not let your hearts be
troubled or afraid.”

Father in Heaven, thank you for your
compassionate and merciful love. Grant me the
grace to remember at all times, that Your love

I invite you to come into my life. I open myself to
your blessings, forgiveness and graces. I offer
to you the areas in my life that I am asking for
your love to manifest. Father, grant me the grace
to know and love you more. Today I declare that
I am your Beloved child. AMEN
