God Wants To Save Us All

For God Did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world might be saved through Him. John 3:17 In this season of penance When we focus on our sins It’s important to remember that the gospel is a Good News It’s the news that God loves us Calls us always to be closer When I hear sermons Homilies focusing on people’s shortcomings or flaws I find myself wondering how many people listening actually Spend most of their time logging themselves for their failings. We’ve all heard reprimanding preachers Found it hard to believe that we’re worthy of being saved This passage reminds us that God wants to save us all When I reflect on salvation I don’t think so much being saved as of being saved I think that God sent His Son into the world To apply a salved to our aching consciences Flagging hearts to heal us So take hope God did not send His Son into the world to condemn us Aileen O’Donoghue Turned to Poetry: Jac R.
