Wednesday of the 21st Week of Ordinary Time

Today's readings explore the gap between outward appearance and inner reality — and what genuine faithfulness actually looks like in daily life. Paul writes to the Thessalonians about the integrity of honest work as a mark of authentic Christian witness, while Jesus confronts religious leaders whose polished exteriors conceal something far darker within. Listen for the contrast between performance and truth. Today's Readings: • First Reading: 2 Thessalonians 3:6-10, 16-18 • Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 128:1-2, 4-5 • Gospel: Matthew 23:27-32
