The Memorial of Saint Agatha

Today's readings explore the theme of faithful leadership and mission as we celebrate Saint Agatha, the courageous third-century martyr who remained steadfast in her faith. We hear King David's final words to his son Solomon about walking faithfully in God's ways, while the Gospel shows Jesus sending out the twelve disciples with authority and simple trust. Listen for how both passages reveal God's call to serve with courage and complete dependence on divine strength.
