Trust the Lord: Rooted in Hope | Daily Readings | March 20, 2025 | Thursday of the Second Week of Lent

Today’s Scripture reflections for Thursday of the Second Week of Lent:First Reading (Jeremiah 17:5-10): Cursed is the one who trusts in human strength; blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, rooted like a tree beside living waters.Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 1:1-2, 3, 4 and 6): Blessed are they who hope in the Lord; they are like trees that yield fruit in due season.Gospel (Luke 16:19-31): Jesus warns through the story of Lazarus and the rich man that trust misplaced in earthly security leads to ruin, while trust in God leads to eternal life.Through these readings, we are invited to root ourselves more deeply in God’s promises, to trust in His justice, and to live lives that bear fruit in every season.A ministry of Christus Dominus Bread of Life.Produced in collaboration with Christus Dominus Studios.
