First Reading: (1 Kings 19:19–21)
Responsorial Psalm: (Psalm 16)
“You are my inheritance, O Lord.”
Gospel: (Matthew 5:33–37)
Reflection:
Radical Commitment (Elisha’s Example)
Elisha doesn’t hesitate-he lets go of everything immediately to follow God. He even destroys his old means of livelihood, symbolizing no turning back.
Reflection:
- What is God asking me to let go of?
- Do I delay obedience or give excuses?
In real life (especially in nursing or caregiving):
- Showing up fully for patients
- Letting go of distractions or burnout habits
- Choosing compassion even when tired
God is Enough (Psalm 16)
The psalm reminds us that our stability and identity don’t come from work, control, or outcomes-but from God.
Reflection:
- When things are stressful or uncertain, where do I anchor myself?
- Do I rely only on my abilities-or trust God’s presence?
Application:
- During overwhelming shifts: pause, breathe, say inwardly:
“Lord, You are my portion.”
Integrity in Speech (Gospel)
Jesus calls for radical honesty-no exaggeration, no manipulation, no hidden meaning.
Reflection:
- Do my words match my intentions?
- Can people trust what I say?
God bless you
Amen 🙏
