Today's Catholic Mass Readings and Gospel Reflection – Thursday, November 20, 2025

Today's Catholic Mass Readings and Gospel Reflection – Thursday, November 20, 2025 First Reading: 1 Maccabees 2: 15-29 Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 50: 1b-2, 5-6, 14-15 R\. “To the upright I will show the saving power of God.” Gospel Reading: Luke 19: 41-44 Thursday of the 33rd Week in Ordinary Time — Year C "Do Not Miss Your Day: Jesus Weeps Over Blindness" Jesus weeps over Jerusalem's fate because they "did not recognize the time of your visitation" (Luke 19:41-44). This Catholic reflection emphasizes the urgency of spiritual vigilance. We celebrate the "zeal" of Mattathias (1 Maccabees 2:15-29) who chose the Covenant over compromise. Discover why the King's tears are a warning against spiritual blindness and how to keep your heart soft to hear God's voice, ensuring you receive the saving power of God today. #JesusWept #CatholicZeal #RecognizeGod
