Martyrdom is nothing in comparison for it is but the sacrifice of man to God; but the Mass is the sacrifice of God for man." ~ St. John Vianney #Saints #Quotes

MASS READINGS Gospel John 3:22-30 Jesus and his disciples went into the region of Judea, where he spent some time with them baptizing.

MASS READINGS: Reading I 1 John 4:19–5:4 Beloved, we love God because he first loved us.

READINGS Reading 1 John 4:7-10 Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God. Whoever is without love does not know God, for God is love. In this way the love of God was revealed to us: God sent his only-begotten Son into the world so that we might have life through him.
