#ChooseTheLord, #FaithLikeAChild, #JoshuaCovenant, #JesusBlessesChildren, #CatholicDailyReflections Today's Catholic Mass Readings & Gospel Reflection – Saturday, August 16, 2025 Reading 1: Joshua 24:14–29 Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 16:1–2a and 5, 7–8, 11 Gospel: Matthew 19:13–15 Saturday of the Nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 418 Dear friends, today we are invited to renew our choice—to say again with Joshua: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Whether we are facing doubt, change, or temptation, the path is made clear. Let us serve the Lord in simplicity and joy, like the children Christ blessed. The invitation is always open, and the embrace of Jesus is always waiting. If you have any prayer intentions, please share them in the comments. We are a praying community, and we especially lift up those facing illness, grief, or spiritual dryness. Let us pray for one another and become, together, like the little children Jesus welcomed. Thank you for being with us here on The Word Today TV. May your Saturday be filled with peace, purpose, and the gentle presence of God. We look forward to seeing you again tomorrow as we continue walking with the Lord through His living Word. ==== This Gospel reflection is 100% original—written, produced, and owned by The Word Today TV.
