The Memorial of Saint John I

Today's readings explore the journey from incomplete faith to mature discipleship. We hear how Paul encounters believers who need fuller understanding of their baptism, while Jesus prepares his disciples for the trials ahead by promising his abiding presence. On this feast of Saint John I, a pope who remained faithful under persecution, these passages remind us that true faith deepens through both the Spirit's power and Christ's peace amid adversity. Today's Readings: • First Reading: Acts 19:1-8 • Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 68:2-3ab, 4-5acd, 6-7ab • Gospel: John 16:29-33
