No one has gone up to heaven except the one
who has come down from heaven, the Son of Man.

John 3:7b-15

John 3:7b-15

Jesus said to Nicodemus: “ ‘You must be born from above.’ The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus answered and said to him, “How can this happen?” Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not understand this? Amen, amen, I say to you, we speak of what we know and we testify to what we have seen, but you people do not accept our testimony. If I tell you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? No one has gone up to heaven except the one who has come down from heaven, the Son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.”

The Gospel of the Lord.

Taken from: Give Us This Day

[First] I made a bridge of my Son as he lived in your company. And though that living bridge has been taken from your sight, there remains the bridgeway of his teaching, which . . . is held together by my power and my Son’s wisdom and the mercy of the Holy Spirit. My power gives the virtue of courage to those who follow this way. Wisdom gives them light to know the truth along the way. And the Holy Spirit gives them a love that . . . leaves only virtuous love. So now as much as before, through his teaching as much as when he was among you, he is the way and truth and life—the way that is the bridge leading to the very height of heaven.
This is what he meant when he said, “I came from the Father and I am returning to the Father,” and “I will come back to you.” In other words: My Father sent me to you and made me your bridge so that you might escape from the river and be able to reach life. . . .
So you must follow the way courageously, not in the fog but with the light of faith that I gave you as your most important adornment in holy baptism.

St. Catherine of Siena

Catherine of Siena (1347–1380) was a mystic and Dominican tertiary who counseled and challenged popes and rulers. She is known for her many spiritual writings and is a Doctor of the Church.

Salve Regina

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy.
Hail, our life, our sweetness,
and our hope.
To you do we cry,
poor banished children of Eve.
To you do we send up our sighs,
Mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate,
Your eyes of mercy towards us.
And after this, our exile,
Show us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
