SATURDAY, 33rd Week in the Ordinary Time

SATURDAY, 33rd Week in the Ordinary Time First Reading – Revelation 11:4-12: John describes two powerful witnesses of God, able to perform miracles and defeat enemies. After being killed by a beast, they are resurrected and ascend to heaven, striking awe in onlookers. Responsorial Psalm – Psalm 144: Blessed is the Lord, my rock and fortress, who prepares me for battle and shields me. I sing praises to Him who grants victory and delivers from harm. • Gospel – Luke 20:27-40: Confronted by Sadducees with a question about marriage and resurrection, Jesus clarified that in the resurrected life, people neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are immortal like angels and children of God. He affirmed the resurrection, citing Moses’ encounter with God as evidence that God is of the living, not the dead, thus silencing his questioners.
