Wednesday of the 13th Week of Ordinary Time

Today's readings explore the difference between outward religious performance and genuine integrity of heart. The prophet Amos delivers a sharp challenge about worship that rings hollow when justice is absent, while the Gospel presents Jesus confronting forces of darkness head-on — and a crowd that finds his power more unsettling than welcome. Today's Readings: • First Reading: Amos 5:14-15, 21-24 • Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 50:7, 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, 16bc-17 • Gospel: Matthew 8:28-34
