#HeartPurity, #JusticeMercyFaith, #CatholicReflection, #DailyMassReadings, #WordTodayTV Today's Catholic Mass Readings & Gospel Reflection – Tuesday, August 26, 2025 Reading 1: 1 Thessalonians 2:1–8 Resp: Psalm 139:1–3, 4–6 Gospel: Matthew 23:23–26 Tuesday of the Twenty-first Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 426 My dear brothers and sisters, today’s readings remind us that God desires not just outward obedience but a heart fully surrendered to Him. The Lord calls us to live with integrity, serving not for praise but out of genuine love, and to let our faith be visible through works of justice and mercy. As we part, let us take time to reflect on what needs cleansing in our hearts and invite the Lord to do His transforming work. If you have prayer requests, please share them so our community can intercede for you—especially for those with urgent needs. May we always be a people who lift each other up before God in prayer. Until tomorrow, may you walk in the peace of Christ, with hearts made pure by His grace. This Gospel reflection is 100% original—written, produced, and owned by The Word Today TV.
