Tuesday of the 20th Week of Ordinary Time

Today's readings explore the danger of placing ultimate trust in wealth, power, or one's own achievements. The first reading delivers a sharp warning to a ruler whose prosperity has led him to mistake himself for a god, while the Gospel challenges the disciples — and us — to consider what we truly rely on for security. Listen for the surprising answer Jesus gives about what is actually possible, and for whom. Today's Readings: • First Reading: Ezekiel 28:1-10 • Responsorial Psalm: Deuteronomy 32:26-27ab, 27cd-28, 30, 35cd-36ab • Gospel: Matthew 19:23-30
