Dan, your closing reference is summed up in the first paragraph of the first reading from John. “Beloved, we love God because
he first loved us. …”. It’s something I have pondered on often. How do I love others …… if not for God loving me FIRST, it would be impossible for me to pay it forward. That he first loved me gives me hope. It reminds me that my parents loved me first – at the moment of my conception, at the moment of my birth, at every moment of every day after that. That’s how God loves us, and more … if I remember that, I will be able to keep his commandments.

God bless.

Dan,
I thank you for a great reflection. I especially take away this, “Trust that in our lives, we can experience many epiphanies.(I love this.) It’s not a one-shot deal. Our faith journey includes many peaks and valleys and we sometimes fall into bad habits or spiritual dryness.( Sad, but true.) But God never lets us alone. He is constantly searching for ways to reach us … constantly chasing us … constantly knocking on the doors of our hearts. We need only to pay attention and answer His call.” I am reminded to ask Him for direction daily so I can truly live His will.

I think of the many moments in my life where God has announced His presence and I’ve denied it was He, saying it’s probably coincidence, or just plane thinking I was in charge. Pray to recognize the Lord in our lives.

What an amazing moment in time! He makes the announcement among his peers. This is a epiphany for all who choose to believe and realize he has arrived. Thank you Dan
