The Commemoration of Saint Casimir

Today's readings explore the cost of faithful witness and true greatness in God's kingdom. We hear Jeremiah facing persecution for speaking God's truth, while the Gospel presents Jesus predicting his passion and teaching that authentic leadership means serving others. On this feast of Saint Casimir, a young prince who chose holiness over worldly power, these readings invite us to consider what genuine discipleship requires. Today's Readings: • First Reading: Jeremiah 18:18-20 • Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 31:5-6, 14, 15-16 • Gospel: Matthew 20:17-28
