QUOTE…

.

“‘For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son’ for its salvation.

All our religion is a revelation of God’s kindness, mercy and love for us.

.

`God is love’ (1 Jn 4:16), that is, love poured forth unsparingly.

All is summed up in this supreme truth, which explains and illuminates everything.

The story of Jesus must be seen in this light.

.

`(He) loved me’, St. Paul writes.

Each of us can and must repeat it for himself

– `He loved me, and gave Himself for me’ (Gal 2:20)."

.

– Blessed Pope Paul VI
