Wednesday of the 1st week of Ordinary Time

Today's readings explore the beautiful theme of responding to God's call with open hearts. We hear how young Samuel learns to recognize and answer the Lord's voice through patient guidance, while the Gospel shows Jesus responding to human need through healing, then withdrawing in prayer to discern his mission. Listen for how both Samuel and Jesus model attentive listening to God's voice. Today's Readings: • First Reading: 1 Samuel 3:1-10, 19-20 • Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 40:2 and 5, 7-8a, 8b-9, 10 • Gospel: Mark 1:29-39
