JESUS CHRIST: THE LIGHT THAT CAME INTO THE WORLD OF DARKNESS: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTION: 4TH SUNDAY OF LENT: LAETARE SUNDAY! CYCLE A, 2023

There are many themes in the readings of today but one that is very clear is that Jesus Christ is the light that came into the world of darkness. Last Sunday we saw the theme of Christ: Living Water that springs to eternal life. Christ was presented to us as the only one who can satisfy our hunger or our thirst.

This is the starting point of Jesus’ message: “repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” This was the very message of John the Baptist. “Turn from your sins, and back turn to God, because the kingdom of heaven is near.”
