Thursday of the 13th Week of Ordinary Time

Today's readings explore what it looks like when God's word and authority break through human resistance. In the first reading, a prophet faces pressure to stay silent, yet holds firm to a calling he never sought. The Gospel then presents Jesus confronting a different kind of resistance, as a simple act of healing reveals something far greater at work. Today's Readings: • First Reading: Amos 7:10-17 • Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 19:8, 9, 10, 11 • Gospel: Matthew 9:1-8
