GOD ASKS YOU THIS TODAY—DO YOU LOVE ME? | September 24, 2026 | Fr. Dave Concepcion

What keeps you going when life hurts and you cannot understand why? In this deeply moving message, Fr. Dave Concepcion reflects on Jesus asking Peter one life-changing question: “Do you love me?” Through John 21, we discover that pain, failure, disappointment, and loss do not have to become the end of our story. Fr. Dave Concepcion explains that God does not delight in human suffering. Some pain remains difficult to understand, yet suffering can deepen faith, shape character, and teach us what truly matters. Jesus Himself entered human suffering and showed that God is not distant from our pain. At the heart of this sermon, Fr. Dave Concepcion reveals why Jesus repeatedly asked Peter, “Do you love me?” The question was not only about Peter’s denial—it gave Peter a reason to move forward. Love gives us the strength to sacrifice, endure, and continue even when we cannot change what has already happened. Fr. Dave Concepcion also delivers a powerful call to forgiveness: forgive your parents, forgive the people who hurt you, and learn to forgive yourself. We cannot undo yesterday, but forgiveness can keep yesterday’s wounds from controlling tomorrow. This message from Fr. Dave Concepcion reminds us that there are pains we may never fully understand. Yet in the middle of failure, grief, disappointment, and unanswered questions, remember this truth: God loves you. Instead of focusing only on disappointment, focus on what God is teaching you and keep walking forward in love. #FrDaveConcepcion #DoYouLoveMe #GodLovesYou #JesusChrist #John21 #Forgiveness #FaithInGod #CatholicSermon #ChristianMotivation #GodsLove
