Year C
Themes: The good news is this: Jesus Christ died for our sins and was resurrected so that no one should perish, but all should have eternal life (Acts 11:1-18). We should then love one another, as Christ loved us (Jn 13:31-35), even as we look forward to eternity with him (Rev 21:1-6).
Let all the earth and heavens praise the Lord (Ps 148)!
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
praise him in the heights above. 2 Praise him, all his angels;
praise him, all his heavenly hosts. 3 Praise him, sun and moon;
praise him, all you shining stars..."
"Passing over the miracles that they were to perform, he makes love the distinguishing mark of his followers. Miracles do not attract unbelievers as much as the way you live your life. And nothing brings about a proper life as much as love."
