Today's Catholic Mass Readings and Gospel Reflection – Tuesday 30 December 2025

Today's Catholic Mass Readings and Gospel Reflection – Wednesday 31 December 2025 First Reading: 1 John 2: 18-21 Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 95(96): 1-2,11-13 R\. “Let the heavens rejoice and earth be glad.” Gospel Reading: John 1: 1-18 The 7th day within the octave of Christmas — Year A Optional commemoration of Saint Silvester I, Pope "Remaining in the Light: How Your Divine Anointing Protects You from the Lies of the World" On this New Year’s Eve, we celebrate the final day of the year and the seventh day of the Christmas Octave. This Catholic daily reflection explores Saint John’s powerful teaching (1st John, chapter 2, verses 18 through 21) that we are "anointed by the Holy One" to know the Truth. We contemplate the majestic Prologue of Saint John (John, chapter 1, verses 1 through 18), discovering the Light that "darkness could not overpower" and the "grace in return for grace" that sustains us. Learn to reclaim your identity as a child of God and step into the New Year with the peace of Christ. Join us to find hope in the Word made flesh. #NewYearsEveReflection #DivineAnointing #WordMadeFlesh
