The Commemoration of Saint Patrick

Today's readings explore the life-giving power of God's healing waters. We celebrate Saint Patrick, the missionary bishop who brought the Gospel's transformative message to Ireland. Ezekiel envisions a miraculous river flowing from God's temple that heals everything it touches, while the Gospel shows Jesus as the true source of healing at the pool of Bethesda. Today's Readings: • First Reading: Ezekiel 47:1-9, 12 • Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 46:2-3, 5-6, 8-9 • Gospel: John 5:1-16
