FROM OUR FIRST READING
The first reading of today, shows the joy of those who heard Philip’s preaching. They were open to the message of Jesus, and their response was happiness and hope. The Gospel brought them peace and changed their lives.
WHAT DO WE LEARN FROM OUR FIRST READING?
The Good News still brings joy to those who welcome it. When we hear about Jesus’ love and promises, we find hope, even in hard times. This joy is not just for a moment but lasts when we keep trusting in Him.
This reading reminds us to share the Gospel with others. Just as Philip brought joy to a new city, we can bring hope to people around us. The Good News is a gift meant to be shared with everyone
FROM OUR GOSPEL READING
The Gospel reading this morning, shows Jesus explaining God’s will for His people. God wants everyone who believes in Jesus to have eternal life. His love reaches out to all and invites us to be with Him forever.
WHAT DO WE LEARN FROM OUR GOSPEL READING ?
This reminds us that God’s love is for everyone, no matter their background. He does not turn anyone away who comes to Him in faith. Jesus shows us that salvation is a gift offered to all people.
We can take comfort in knowing God desires our salvation. He cares deeply for each of us and invites us into His loving care. This also calls us to help others see His love and promises.
CONCLUSION
The reflection for today, encourage us to open our hearts to the message of Jesus. They remind us of God’s love and promises, even during struggles. May these reflections inspire us to grow in faith, trust in God, and share His message of hope with others.
May you all Have a blessed Wednesday!!
