Canadian Food for Children is Canadian charity who supply food and good quality supplies to Missionaries serving in many poor countries. It began at the request of Mother Teresa to Dr. Simone of Toronto. We have been participating with this outreach for many, many years. Our volunteers pack donations which are shipped by the generosity of Cuneo’s to the Toronto Warehouse. Each month we highlight specific needs – but remember food is always the essential request.

Reflection on Today’s Gospel
Discussion Questions:

Re-read John 3: 16-18
Have you ever felt condemned? By whom?
When did you begin to see God as saving you, rather than condemning you?
Who are the condemned actually condemned by?
Invite the Spirit of God to break open more fully your ability to believe, as Jesus would will it.
