First Reading: (Romans 9:1–5)
Responsorial Psalm: (Psalm 147:12–15, 19–20). Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.
Alleluia
Alleluia, Alleluia.
The word of the Lord remains forever;
this is the word that has been proclaimed to you.
Alleluia.
Gospel: (Luke 14:1–6)
Reflection
In today’s Gospel, Jesus is dining with Pharisees and other devout men.
A man suffering from dropsy appears, perhaps brought there to test Jesus.
Despite the trap, Jesus responds with compassion and heals him immediately.
This act teaches us that true holiness is not about rigid rule-keeping,
but about love, mercy, and compassion.
All religious practice loses meaning if it lacks kindness and humanity.
We are called to reflect Jesus’ heart, healing, lifting, and loving others,
especially when it is inconvenient or misunderstood. God bless and have a wonderful weekend.
