For 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 of God. And this is the verdict, that the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light, because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed. But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God. (John 3:14-21) Nicodemus came to Jesus secretly, at night, and found himself obliged to choose between light and darkness. Jesus initiated Nicodemus in a series of their meetings into faith. At first, Nicodemus thought he was in the presence of a teacher, but he was actually encountering the light of the world. Nicodemus believed that God was with Jesus; however, he discovered that God was in Jesus. It is our duty to bring ourselves from superficial religiosity to true faith. We are challenged to ask ourselves do we truly have faith. 2 Eucharistic Adoration The Eucharist is the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ and He calls us to spend time with Him in prayer and adoration. Each month, we have a 24-hour Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament beginning on the first Monday of the month and a 12-hour Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament on the third Tuesday of the month. We encourage you to consider spending some time with Christ, present in the Blessed Sacrament. Morning, afternoon, and evening time slots are available. Our next 12-hour adoration will be March 20 (8:30 AM-8:30 PM) Our next 24-hour adoration will be April 2-3. If you have questions regarding Adoration or would like to commit to a scheduled time as an adorer, please contact Maura Byron at or at 5byrons@cox.net. Thank you to all who attended The Journey Lenten Reflection on February 27 and to the coordinators and leaders of this very special event. Do you or someone you know need prayers? The San Francisco Solano Prayer group will pray for your intentions. Simply us your requests at Pray4UsToday@hotmail.com.
