Year B - Wednesday of the Thirty-Second Week in Ordinary Time

In Catholic Lectionary Today's readings:

• 📖 First reading: Titus 2:1-8, 11-14
• 📖 Gospel: Luke 17:7-10 💞

🌟 Today’s readings emphasize the virtues of integrity, humble service, and obedience, qualities that defined the life and mission of St. Josaphat, a martyr who sought unity between the Eastern and Western Churches. In his letter to Titus, St. Paul outlines the importance of sound doctrine and virtuous living, encouraging all to live with dignity, temperance, and self-control. He reminds us that God’s grace calls us to a life of holiness, preparing us to serve others and work for the good of the community. This life of grace and peace reflects St. Josaphat’s ministry as he sought to bring reconciliation and unity. 🌱

💫 In the Gospel, Jesus reminds His disciples of the spirit of true discipleship: serving God without expectation of personal gain or recognition. He compares their work to that of servants who fulfill their duties simply because it is what they are called to do. This teaching calls us to embrace humility, recognizing that our service to God and others is an expression of love rather than a means to gain approval. St. Josaphat’s life of sacrificial service, even to the point of martyrdom, is a testament to this humble devotion. ✨

On this memorial, may we be inspired by St. Josaphat’s example to work for unity, serve with humility, and live with integrity, trusting that God’s grace strengthens us in our mission as disciples. 🙏🌿
