"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. - John 3:16 [from today's lections].
[A word about the photo: it's a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary that someone placed on the bottom of the ocean at the Palancar Reef in Mexico. It's about 15-20 feet down and the shot is askew as I had neither breathing gear nor buoyancy compensator, so I was having difficulty maintaining my position Next time, I'll be prepared.]
