Saturday Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Today's readings explore the heart of true leadership—wisdom, compassion, and service to others. We hear how young King Solomon asks God not for power or riches, but for wisdom to guide his people well. The Gospel shows us Jesus embodying this same shepherding care as he teaches the crowds who desperately seek guidance. Today's Readings: • First Reading: 1 Kings 3:4-13 • Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 119:9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 • Gospel: Mark 6:30-34
