The Memorial of Saint Angela Merici

Today's readings celebrate the joy of belonging to God's family. We hear how King David brings the ark of God home with dancing and celebration, while the Gospel reveals Jesus expanding our understanding of family to include all who do God's will. On this feast of Saint Angela Merici, who gathered women into a new kind of spiritual family, these readings invite us to consider how God calls us into deeper communion. Today's Readings: • First Reading: 2 Samuel 6:12b-15, 17-19 • Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 24:7, 8, 9, 10 • Gospel: Mark 3:31-35
