Five Minute Jesus

Using the Gospel for Prayer - The Most Holy Trinity Sunday June 4, 2023

It’s simple. 1. Read the Gospel for the following Sunday slowly, reflecting on the story it tells. 2. Reflect on the questions assigned for each day. 3. Make some resolution about how what you read can be lived that day. 4. Then thank God for speaking to you through this reflection.

Gospel John 3: 16-18

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. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son.

Monday, May 29

Today’s Gospel tells us about God the Father and God the Son. What can I learn from these two persons of the Holy Trinity? How are they different?

Tuesday, May 30

John’s Gospel begins with the most well-known verse in the Bible - a one sentence summary of the Gospel. Think of the first phrase, “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son...” How can I share God’s love with the world? How am I willing to give of myself in love?

Wednesday, May 31

John goes on, “...so that everyone who believes in him... might have eternal life.” Think beyond the literal level; think deeply. What do these words mean to me?

Thursday, June 1

John 3:16-18 tells us how we can be saved. Reflect on these words. What must I do to be saved?

Friday, June 2

How can I show my thanks to God for sending Jesus to save me? How can I make my gift for others in charity?

Saturday, June 3

God has a positive purpose for mankind. What was God’s original purpose in sending his Son? How did this sacrifice save me? What conversion of heart, mind, and life is the Lord asking of me? How can I engage the broader culture in faith?
