Some people delight in finding unusual things, they marvel at extraordinary events.
And, in this day and age, there is plenty to satisfy their search for what is special and exceptional!
The landing of a human being on the moon ranks among such happenings. 
The astronaut, Neil Armstrong, is quoted as saying:
« That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. »
The discoveries in the different fields of science,
the wonderful achievements in medicine,
the sensational realizations of engineering,
the amazing feats of technology –
all this, and more, give sufficient reasons for astonishment.
Personally, I found another reason for astonishment…
It is recorded in the gospel text of today (John 17:20:26).
We find there the words of Jesus’ prayer at the Last Supper with the apostles on the eve of his death.
Addressing his Father, Jesus says:
“I have loved them even as you have loved me”.
And he asks the Father:
“That the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.”
Who could have imagined such a… reality?
For it is REAL!
To think that a god – no, THE God revealed to us by Jesus as the Father – loves us
with the same love as he loves Jesus, the beloved Son!
Unimaginable! Unbelievable! Unfathomable!…
but TRUE!
Of course… we must believe it…
Belief in science?… Yes.
Belief in human beings?… Yes.
Belief in God?………………
