When Enemies Surround: Finding Strength in the God Who Rescues | Daily Readings | April 11, 2025 | Friday of the Fifth Week of Lent

Today’s Scripture reflections for Friday of the Fifth Week of Lent:First Reading (Jeremiah 20:10-13): Jeremiah, betrayed and surrounded by enemies, places his trust in the Lord who defends the innocent and delivers from the wicked.Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 18:2-3a, 3bc-4, 5-6, 7): The Lord is our rock, fortress, and deliverer; in our distress, He hears our cry.Gospel (John 10:31-42): Jesus faces accusations and threats from those unwilling to accept His works and His Word, yet remains unwavering in His mission.Through these readings, we are invited to find our strength not in human approval but in God's faithfulness, to stand firm in truth when opposition rises, and to prepare our hearts for the trials and ultimate triumph of Holy Week.A ministry of Christus Dominus Bread of Life.Produced in collaboration with Christus Dominus Studios.
