18th Sunday of Ordinary Time

Today's readings explore the theme of abundance that comes not from what we earn or possess, but from what God freely gives. Isaiah opens with a striking invitation to receive food and drink without cost, pointing to a deeper nourishment the soul craves. The Gospel then shows that invitation made visible, as Jesus feeds a vast crowd with almost nothing in hand. Today's Readings: • First Reading: Isaiah 55:1-3 • Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 145:8-9, 15-16, 17-18 • Second Reading: Romans 8:35, 37-39 • Gospel: Matthew 14:13-21
