The Memorial of Saint Thomas Aquinas

Today's readings explore how God establishes lasting foundations through faithful partnership. We hear how God promises David an eternal kingdom built not on human ambition but on divine covenant, while the Gospel reveals Jesus teaching about the different ways God's word takes root and bears fruit in human hearts. Both readings invite us to consider what makes for truly fruitful ground in God's kingdom. Today's Readings: • First Reading: 2 Samuel 7:4-17 • Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 89:4-5, 27-28, 29-30 • Gospel: Mark 4:1-20
