Saint James Vicariate For Hebrew Speaking Catholics in Israel
Preparation for Sunday mass: John 3:13-17
We present here the text that will be read at Sunday mass, the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, and we formulate some questions that might help us prepare to hear the reading.
13 No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. 14 And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. 17 Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
- What did the cross symbolize in the time of Jesus?
- What does the cross come to mean for the Christian believer with Jesus’ death on the cross?
- What is my cross, the one I am called to carry as I follow in Jesus’ footsteps?
