The Feast of Saint James, Apostle

Today, the feast of Saint James the Apostle, the readings explore what it truly means to follow Jesus into greatness — not through power or privilege, but through suffering and service. Paul writes of carrying weakness as the very vessel through which God's strength is revealed, while the Gospel brings us to a revealing moment when James and his brother ask Jesus for the seats of honor in his Kingdom. Today's Readings: • First Reading: 2 Corinthians 4:7-15 • Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 126:1bc-2ab, 2cd-3, 4-5, 6 • Gospel: Matthew 20:20-28
