Today's Catholic Mass Readings & Gospel Reflection – Monday, August 25, 2025
#AuthenticFaith, #CatholicMassReadings, #DailyGospelReflection, #FaithInAction, #LivingWithIntegrity Today's Catholic Mass Readings & Gospel Reflection – Monday, August 25, 2025 Reading 1: 1 Thessalonians 1:1–5, 8b–10 Resp: Psalm 149:1b–2, 3–4, 5–6a and 9b Gospel: Matthew 23:13–22 Monday of the Twenty-first Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 425 My dear friends, the Word today reminds us that the most powerful testimony of faith is not eloquence, but a life transformed by Christ. The Thessalonians’ steadfast example invites us to let the Spirit work through us in our workplaces, homes, and communities. The Psalm teaches us to rejoice in God’s goodness, while the Gospel warns us to guard against empty religiosity. Let us encourage one another to live the Gospel authentically so that we may open—not close—the doors of God’s kingdom to those around us. If you have prayer intentions, please share them, and let us as a community lift one another up—especially those carrying heavy burdens. May the Lord bless you abundantly, and I look forward to reflecting with you again tomorrow. This Gospel reflection is 100% original—written, produced, and owned by The Word Today TV.
