Friday of the 5th Week of Lent

Today's readings explore the cost of speaking God's truth in a hostile world. We hear Jeremiah crying out amid persecution from former friends who plot against him, while the Gospel presents Jesus facing stones and accusations of blasphemy for claiming to be God's Son. Both passages reveal how divine truth often provokes fierce opposition. Today's Readings: • First Reading: Jeremiah 20:10-13 • Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 18:2-3a, 3bc-4, 5-6, 7 • Gospel: John 10:31-42
