Friday of the 2nd Week of Ordinary Time

Today's readings explore the profound act of choosing mercy over vengeance and the careful selection of those called to serve. We hear how David spares King Saul's life despite having every opportunity for revenge, demonstrating remarkable restraint and trust in God's justice. The Gospel shows Jesus deliberately choosing his twelve apostles, calling them to share in his mission of preaching and healing. Today's Readings: • First Reading: 1 Samuel 24:3-21 • Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 57:2, 3-4, 6 and 11 • Gospel: Mark 3:13-19
