Saturday of the 1st Week of Lent

Today's readings explore what it means to live as God's chosen people through wholehearted commitment and radical love. Deuteronomy calls Israel to keep God's commandments with complete devotion, while Jesus challenges us to extend that love even to our enemies. Listen for how both passages reveal the extraordinary standard God sets for those who belong to him. Today's Readings: • First Reading: Deuteronomy 26:16-19 • Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 119:1-2, 4-5, 7-8 • Gospel: Matthew 5:43-48
