Saturday Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Today's readings explore the contrast between those who use power to exploit the vulnerable and the one who uses power to protect them. Micah delivers a sharp warning to those who scheme and seize what belongs to others, while the Gospel reveals a Messiah who heals quietly, without force — one who will not crush what is already broken. Today's Readings: • First Reading: Micah 2:1-5 • Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 10:1-2, 3-4, 7-8, 14 • Gospel: Matthew 12:14-21
