Year B - Wednesday of the Twenty-Third Week in Ordinary Time

In Catholic Lectionary Today's readings:

• 📖 First reading: 1 Corinthians 7:25-31
• 📖 Gospel: Luke 6:20-26 ✨

Reflection

🌿 In the first reading, Paul advises the Corinthians on the fleeting nature of this world, urging them to focus on living in a way that reflects the coming of God's Kingdom. 🌱 The world, with its attachments and concerns, is passing away, and Paul calls us to direct our hearts toward what is eternal. 🌏💫

✨ In the Gospel, Jesus delivers the Beatitudes, proclaiming blessings on the poor, the hungry, and the sorrowful, while issuing warnings to the rich, the satisfied, and those who seek worldly approval. 💖 Jesus invites us to rethink where we place our trust, reminding us that true happiness comes from aligning ourselves with God's will and living for His Kingdom. ✝️

🌟 These readings challenge us to live with an eternal perspective, recognizing the temporary nature of worldly comforts and praise. We are called to seek joy and fulfillment in serving God, trusting in Him, and placing our hope in His Kingdom, even in the midst of challenges. 🙏
