17th Sunday of Ordinary Time

Today's readings explore what it truly means to recognize something of incomparable worth and respond wholeheartedly. The first reading presents a young king given the chance to ask for anything, and his surprising choice reveals what wisdom really looks like. The Gospel then offers a series of short, vivid parables about people who discover something so precious they give up everything to possess it. Today's Readings: • First Reading: 1 Kings 3:5, 7-12 • Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 119:57, 72, 76-77, 127-128, 129-130 • Second Reading: Romans 8:28-30 • Gospel: Matthew 13:44-52
