Friday of the 5th Week of Ordinary Time


Listen Later

Today's readings explore the tension between human stubbornness and God's persistent call to openness. We hear how Israel's rebellion against God's plan led to a divided kingdom, while the psalm laments a people who refused to listen. The Gospel shows Jesus opening deaf ears and loosening a mute tongue, demonstrating God's power to break through our barriers to hearing and responding.

Today's Readings:

  • First Reading: 1 Kings 11:29-32; 12:19
  • Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 81:10-11ab, 12-13, 14-15
