Today's Catholic Mass Readings and Gospel Reflection – Thursday, October 23, 2025

Today's Catholic Mass Readings and Gospel Reflection – Thursday, October 23, 2025 First Reading: Romans 6. 19–23 Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 1. 1–4, 6 Gospel Reading: Luke 12. 49–53 Thursday of the Twenty-Ninth Week in Ordinary Time, Year C Optional memorial of St. John of Capistrano, priest The Fire of Christ - Escape Spiritual Mediocrity, Be Transformed Are you settling for mediocrity? Join our Catholic reflection on "Luke, chapter 12, verses 49 through 53", where Jesus declares, "I came to bring fire to the earth!" We explore this fire as God's profound desire to "purify our souls" and consume our impurities. Learn the three stages of transformation, explained by "Saint John of the Cross", that allow you to become "one with God’s love"—glowing with His radiance. Stop being content with just being "good." Embrace the radical decision to let the blazing fire of Christ's mercy sanctify you for "eternal life". #FireOfChrist #DivineUnion #CatholicSanctification
