DAILY SCRIPTURE MARCH 21 2025 | Friday of the Second Week of Lent: From Rejection to Redemption |

Friday of the Second Week of Lent | From Rejection to Redemption: God's Plan Unfolds Join us as we reflect on the Friday of the Second Week of Lent, focusing on how God’s plan of redemption unfolds even through rejection and suffering. Today’s readings highlight the biblical theme of God turning betrayal into blessing, foreshadowing Christ’s ultimate sacrifice for our salvation. 📖 Mass Readings for Today: 🔹 First Reading: Genesis 37:3-4, 12-13a, 17b-28a – The story of Joseph, rejected and sold by his brothers, yet later used by God to save many. 🔹 Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 105:16-17, 18-19, 20-21 – God’s faithfulness in guiding Joseph through trials to a place of honor. 🔹 Verse Before the Gospel: John 3:16 – "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him might have eternal life." 🔹 Gospel: Matthew 21:33-43, 45-46 – The parable of the tenants, illustrating how God’s messengers—and ultimately His Son—are rejected, yet His plan prevails. 🙏 Reflection: Even in moments of betrayal, suffering, and rejection, God is at work, transforming our trials into a greater purpose. Let us trust in His divine plan and embrace the path of redemption. 📌 Like, share, and subscribe for more daily Mass readings and reflections! #Lent #GodsPlan #Redemption #CatholicFaith #GospelReflection
