“Jesus answered and said to him: Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
Reflection for Today
The Church sets before us John 3:3: “Jesus answered and said to him: Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
The Church treasures John because the Gospel is the face of Christ in human language, meant to be heard with faith. The Catholic way of reading is never solitary for long. We read with the Church, with the saints, and with the poor Christ still loves.
God often changes us less by thunder and more by a line of Scripture that will not leave us alone. If possible, bring this line to Mass or to a brief visit before the Blessed Sacrament. Let Christ finish in silence what the verse began in your thoughts.
Prayer
Father of mercies, I bring You this day and this verse from John 3:3. As I listen to “Jesus answered and said to him: Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a man be born…,” heal what is anxious in me, correct what is proud, and strengthen what is willing to love. Amen.
