Gospel Reflection

In today’s Gospel, Luke 7:18-23, the disciples of John the Baptist ask Jesus if He is the Messiah. Jesus responds by showing the signs of His mission: the blind see, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor reception the good news. This passage invites us to recognize Jesus as the Messiah and to trust in His power and love.

The Purpose of the Day

Today, we recognize Jesus as the Messiah and trust His power and love. Spend time in prayer and ask Jesus to help you fully trust in Him and His plan for your life.
