The Memorial of Saint Clare

Today's readings explore what it means to truly receive and be nourished by God's word — not just to hear it, but to take it in completely. Ezekiel is given a remarkable vision of a scroll to eat, and the Gospel invites us to consider what kind of openness makes that possible. On the feast of Saint Clare, whose life was marked by radical simplicity and receptivity, these readings offer a fitting backdrop for her witness. Today's Readings: • First Reading: Ezekiel 2:8-3:4 • Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 119:14, 24, 72, 103, 111, 131 • Gospel: Matthew 18:1-5, 10, 12-14
