March 14, 2021: Fourth Sunday of Lent with Alyssa Perez
Preaching for the Fourth Sunday of Lent, Alyssa Perez offers a reflection on living out the ubiquitous John 3:16:
"These days can bring up the 'dark' parts of us and we can get trapped in the cycle of shame and judgment of ourselves, feeling like we will never be worthy of God’s love. That is the power of today’s gospel, the truth in today’s gospel. It shakes us out of this cycle and reminds us that it’s not true! God does love us, not because we deserve it, as the second reading reminds us, but because it is gifted to us freely. God comes into our lives and journeys with us during this dark season of Lent, and sees our goodness and potential. That is the good news!"
Alyssa Perez works as a Resident Minister and the Assistant Director of Alternative Breaks and Advocacy at Loyola Marymount University (LMU) in Los Angeles, CA. She received her Master of Nonprofit Administration degree at the University of San Francisco, and her Bachelor of Arts in Theology and Political Science at LMU.
