The Cross and Mercy: Healing Through Fasting | Daily Readings | March 8, 2025

Today’s Scripture reflections for the Saturday after Ash Wednesday:First Reading (Isaiah 58:9b-14): True fasting transforms darkness into light, breaks chains of injustice, and restores broken lives.Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 86:1-2, 3-4, 5-6): Teach me Your way, O Lord, that I may walk in Your truth.Gospel (Luke 5:27-32): Jesus calls Levi the tax collector, showing that He came not for the righteous, but to call sinners to repentance and new life.Through these readings, we are invited to embrace fasting that brings healing, to walk humbly in God's ways, and to allow mercy to shape every part of our lives.A ministry of Christus Dominus Bread of Life.Produced in collaboration with Christus Dominus Studios.
