God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him might have eternal life. (Jn 3:16)

 God so loved the world . . . this verse was drilled into my dear little head when I attended Sunday School as a kid. I’m grateful that they did. Because we need to hear that God loves the world . . . and maybe we should too. In times of pandemic we need to be reminded that loving the world like God does, calls us to act responsibly when it comes to our neighbor, even to self-quarantine.
