THE SON OF MAN MUST BE LIFTED UP
Jesus said to Nicodemus: ‘Do not be surprised when I say: You must be born from above. The wind blows wherever it pleases; you hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. That is how it is with all who are born of the Spirit.’ CDR
‘How can that be
possible?’ asked Nicodemus.
‘You, a teacher
in Israel, and you do not know these things!’ replied Jesus. ‘I tell you most
solemnly, we speak only about what we know and witness only to what we have
seen and yet you people reject our evidence.
If you do not believe me when I speak about things in this world, how are you going to believe me when I speak to you about heavenly things? No one has gone up to heaven except the one who came down from heaven, the Son of Man who is in heaven; and the Son of Man must be lifted up as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.’
God of Peace,
Father of all consolation, give me the gift of your Holy Spirit. Father our
world seeks security through violence and war, make me instrument of your peace.
Father forgive the sins of divisions by your creatures most especially among
the body of your Son Jesus Christ. Make us united in heart and soul. Give us
courage to seek unity, and your will for in these basis is our peace and
security.
Holy Spirit

in God the Father. Help me obey Christ’s words. Come Holy Spirit, manifest the
power of God in my life. Give me courage, help me in my doubts.
