#SaintPiusX, #WeddingFeastParable, #CatholicDailyReflection, #EucharisticLife, #CalledAndChosen Today's Catholic Mass Readings & Gospel Reflection – Thursday, August 21, 2025 Reading 1: Judges 11:29–39a Resp: Psalm 40:5, 7–8a, 8b–9, 10 Gospel: Matthew 22:1–14 Memorial of Saint Pius X, Pope Lectionary: 422 My dear brothers and sisters, today’s Scriptures remind us that God’s invitation is generous, but our response must be sincere and prepared. Jephthah’s story warns us to seek God’s wisdom before making commitments, while the Gospel calls us to come to His feast clothed in the garment of grace. Saint Pius X taught that we draw our strength from the Eucharist; let us approach it with a heart ready to be transformed. As we go forth, let us pray for each other, especially those who have special intentions or urgent needs. Please share your prayer requests so we can intercede for you as a community of faith. Thank you for joining today’s reflection, and may God’s peace and blessing remain with you until we meet again tomorrow.
