They saw how unhappy and sometimes desperate they were. To help them, they agreed to sell small mirrors. On the other side, they printed words from the Gospel of St. John: &#8216;For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son\u2026&#8217; (John 3:16). They added a question to these words: &#8216;If you want to know who it was that God loved so much, look on the other side.&#8217; Looking in the mirror, each person saw themselves and realized that they are not alone, that they are not abandoned, and that God cares about everyone, because he gave his Son for their salvation.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">God so loved the world\u2026 These words, which the Lord spoke to Nicodemus on that memorable night, convey the immense love of God for humanity and the condemnation of those who reject God&#8217;s love and forfeit their salvation. &#8216;He came down from heaven for us and our salvation\u2026&#8217; (I believe). For all, for each one of us\u2026 However, we know that this immense love of God has set its own limits, namely, human freedom. Only then will we come to salvation if we want to be saved. We will find eternal life, eternal light, and truth only if we accept God&#8217;s gifts of light, truth, and grace through our own fault.<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students at one school discussed the emotional isolation experienced by some of their classmates during a meeting.
