Tuesday of the 17th Week of Ordinary Time

Today's readings explore what it looks like to turn back to God when all other hopes have failed. Jeremiah voices a people broken by suffering, who finally stop looking elsewhere and cry out to the One who alone can save. The Gospel then opens a window onto the end of the story, where that same patient, faithful God brings everything hidden to light. Today's Readings: • First Reading: Jeremiah 14:17-22 • Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 79:8, 9, 11 and 13 • Gospel: Matthew 13:36-43
