SUNDAY LITURGY 1st Reading Exodus 34:4b-6, 8-9 2nd Reading 2 Corinthians 13:11-14 Gospel John 3: 16 – 18 Theme: In What Kind of God Do You Believe All three readings teach us today something about the nature of God. The first tells us that the biblical God is quite different form the god of the pagans or the god worshipped by people of other religions. God does not become angry, is not wilful, does not punish us and is not spying on us. The gospel tells us that he has not moved away from us, but has joined his life to the world and to ours. He does not live far away or terrify people. The second reading teaches us that God is family, a family open to us all. Response to the Psalm: To be praised and highly exalted forever! Acclamation: Alleluia, alleluia. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, the God who is, who was and who is to come. Alleluia.
