                                                John 20:31 says the Gospel was written to nurture the act of committing oneself to

                                             the Son of God. For this act, John constantly uses the verb "believe" (pisteuo or trust

                                             "believe" in John's account of the Gospel. Believing does not mean merely acting as

       Sunday Mass 10:30 a.m.                invisible reality at the heart of all things, analogous to the ability to see and hear the
                                             physical world. Two levels of seeing operate in John. Physical seeing leads to an
       Saturday Mass 5:00 p.m.               embryonic form of faith (see 6:30, "What sign can you do, that we may see and
  Confessions 4-4:30 p.m. on Saturday believe in you?"), which remains tied to earthly forms of existence (3:6). But true
   Father Larry Van Damme - Pastor           believing enables one to see beyond physical sight (6:40; 9:35-39).

           Maintenance - Dennis Kratz        proclaim now to you" (1 John 1:1-4). In a crucial sense, the Gospel subordinates
                                             apostleship to the task of ordinary Christians to believe. For John, believing in Jesus

                                             teaches that anyone who knows him through believing is equal to the Apostles, who
