Mercy Lifts Us: A Prayer That Justifies | Daily Readings | March 29, 2025 | Saturday of the Third Week of Lent

Today’s Scripture reflections for Saturday of the Third Week of Lent:First Reading (Hosea 6:1-6): God calls His people to return not with empty rituals, but with hearts seeking mercy, for He desires steadfast love over sacrifice.Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 51:3-4, 18-19, 20-21ab): A humble and contrite heart, O God, You will not spurn.Gospel (Luke 18:9-14): Jesus teaches that true justification comes not from self-righteousness but from humble repentance, as seen in the prayer of the tax collector.Through these readings, we are invited to lay down pride, to seek God's mercy with sincerity, and to rise justified through a humble heart during this sacred Lenten pilgrimage.A ministry of Christus Dominus Bread of Life.Produced in collaboration with Christus Dominus Studios.
