On the Feast of the Beloved Disciple, this homily invites us to reflect on God’s deepest desire for our lives: a real and living union with Him. Jesus comes to take our weaknesses, not to shame us, but to draw us into a deeper relationship rooted in faith rather than the ways of the world. Like St. John, the beloved disciple, we are called to recognize the Lord through a lively faith—one that humbly offers our poverty, our dependence, and our surrender each day. As faith grows, we begin to see, hear, and know God more clearly, learning to walk with Him now as preparation for eternal life.
