Daily Catholic liturgical readings and reflections. Start your day with Scripture - the first reading, psalm, and gospel from the daily Mass, followed by a brief reflection to carry with you.
Today's readings explore what it looks like to stand firm in the face of opposition and danger. Paul writes to the Ephesians about the spiritual strength and protection God provides for those who remain faithful, while Jesus, warned of a threat to his life, speaks with quiet resolve about the path set before him.
Today's Readings:
• First Reading: Ephesians 6:10-20
• Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 144:1b, 2, 9-10
• Gospel: Luke 13:31-35

The Feast of Saints Simon and Jude, Apostles
Today we celebrate the feast of Saints Simon and Jude, two of the twelve apostles chosen by Jesus. Today's readings explore the theme of being chosen and built into something larger than ourselves — from the Gospel's account of Jesus spending a night in prayer before naming his apostles, to Paul's vision of those same apostles forming the very foundation of God's dwelling place on earth.
Today's Readings:
• First Reading: Ephesians 2:19-22
• Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 19:2-3, 4-5
• Gospel: Luke 6:12-16

Tuesday of the 30th Week of Ordinary Time
Today's readings explore how small, hidden things can carry extraordinary power — and how love, rightly ordered, transforms from the inside out. Paul's letter to the Ephesians holds up marriage as a living image of Christ's self-giving love for the Church, while Jesus offers two quiet parables about how God's Kingdom takes root and spreads in ways we might not expect.
Today's Readings:
• First Reading: Ephesians 5:21-33
• Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 128:1-2, 3, 4-5
• Gospel: Luke 13:18-21
