The Memorial of Saint Pius X

Today's readings explore what it looks like when God breathes new life into what seems lost and hopeless. Ezekiel witnesses dry bones restored to living flesh, a vivid image of a people gathered and renewed by God's Spirit, while the Gospel cuts to the heart of what animates that renewed life: love of God and neighbor as the foundation of everything. Today we celebrate Saint Pius X, whose papacy was marked by a passion for renewing the Church from within—a fitting echo of these readings. Today's Readings: • First Reading: Ezekiel 37:1-14 • Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 107:2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9 • Gospel: Matthew 22:34-40
