Daily Readings | The Triple Question: When Love Gets Measured Three Times | June 6, 2025

June 6, 2025 - Friday of the Seventh Week of Easter - Daily Readings from the Catholic Lectionary

Do you love me more than these? Jesus asks Peter the same question three times, each cut deeper than the last. By the third asking, Peter is hurt. But why the repetition? Because love isn't proven by single declarations—it's revealed through triple testing. Three denials demanded three affirmations. Three failures required three renewals. Peter's restoration interview conducted by the very person he'd denied three times during crucifixion.

In today’s reflection, you’ll discover:
1. Why Jesus asked Peter the same question three times instead of accepting first answer
2. How triple testing eliminates performance and reveals true character
3. What it means that love proven through testing qualifies for greater responsibility
4. Why divine persistence with our failures leads to deeper restoration than single chances
