Catholic Mass Readings for This Sunday – A Reflection of Faith
As we prepare for this Sunday’s Mass Readings, we are invited to open our hearts to God’s word and allow it to shape our lives. Sunday is a sacred day, a time to gather as a faith community, to listen to Scripture, and to receive the Eucharist, the source and summit of our Christian life.
The First Reading often takes us back to the Old Testament, reminding us of God’s covenant and His faithfulness to His people. The Responsorial Psalm invites us to lift our hearts in praise and trust. The Second Reading, usually from the New Testament letters, offers wisdom for our daily walk with Christ. Finally, the Gospel brings us the words and actions of Jesus, calling us to deeper faith, conversion, and love.
As we anticipate this Sunday’s Mass, let us take time to meditate on the readings, asking the Holy Spirit to enlighten our understanding. May we come to Mass with open hearts, ready to receive God’s grace and be strengthened for the week ahead.
🙏 Lord, speak to us through Your word this Sunday, and help us live it fully in our daily lives. Amen.
Reflection
“Christ has many members, but one body. Out of compassion for us he descended from heaven, and although he ascended alone, we also ascend, because we are in him by grace” (Saint Augustine)
“The Lord draws the gaze of the Apostles -our gaze- toward Heaven to show how to travel the road of good during earthly life. We can hear, see and touch our Lord Jesus in the Church, especially through the word and the sacraments” (Benedict XVI)
“Christ permanently exercises his priesthood in heaven, for he always lives to make intercession for those who draw near to God through him. As ‘high priest of the good things to come’ (Hb 9:11) he is the centre and the principal actor of the liturgy that honours the Father in heaven” (Catechism Of The Catholic Church, Nº 662)
Saint of the Day
Using human reason to understand the divine: many saints in the Church have taken this path as they try to comprehend God’s existence. Among of the first of these was St. Justin, martyred in 165 AD. His feast day is June 1.
