GOSPEL: John 3: 14-21: In teaching Nicodemus, Jesus uses a familiar story from the Old Testament (Numbers 21:4-9) about Moses. When Moses lifted up a bronze snake in the desert for all to see, those who had been bitten by snakes were healed. Jesus says that he too must be lifted up so that all might have eternal life through him. He will be lifted up on the cross. But he will also be lifted up in his resur-rection and in his ascension to the Father. Whoever looks at him in faith will receive eternal life. Followers of Jesus recognize him as the light that came into the world. They live truthfully in the light, unlike those who choose the darkness and do evil deeds. 1.) Picture the entire world today as a patient in a doctor's office. What might the doctor say is wrong with the world's health? 2.) How do members of your family, school community, and parish show that they are living in the light? 3.) What can we do to help others choose to live truthfully in the light?

EVANGELIO: JuAN 3: 14-21 Cuando enseñaba a Nicodemo, Jesús usó una historia conocida del Antiguo Testamento sobre Moisés. (Números 21:4-9). Cuando Moisés levantó la serpiente de bronce en el desierto para que todos la vieran, los que habían sido mordidos por serpi-entes se sanaron. Jesús dice que él también puede ser levantado en la cruz. Pero él será subido al Padre en su resurrección y en su ascensión. Los seguidores de Jesús lo reconocieron como la luz que había llegado al mundo. Ellos vivieron verdaderamente en la luz, contrario a los que escogieron las tinieblas y las obras del demonio.

1.) Imagina al mundo de hoy como si fuera un paciente en el consultorio de un doctor. ¿Qué diría el doctor que está pasando con la salud del mundo? 2.) ¿Cómo los miembros de tu familia, comunidad escolar y par roquial muestran que viven en la luz? 3.) ¿Qué podemos hacer para ayudar a otros a escoger vivir ver daderamente en la luz?
