Matthew 10:16-23

Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves. But beware of men. For they will deliver you up in councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues. And you shall be brought before governors, and before kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles: But when they shall deliver you up, take no thought how or what to speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what to speak: For it is not you that speak, but the spirit of your Father that speaketh in you. The brother also shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the son; and the children shall rise up against their parents, and shall put them to death. And you shall be hated by all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall persevere unto the end, he shall be saved. And when they shall persecute you in this city, flee into another. Amen I say to you, you shall not finish all the cities of Israel, till the Son of man come.

In Matthew 10:16-23, Jesus warns His disciples that mission will involve opposition, hardship, and misunderstanding. Yet He also promises the guidance of the Spirit. This Gospel is a reminder that faithfulness does not always lead to comfort, but Christ never abandons those who follow Him. When we face criticism, pressure, or difficulty because of our faith, we are invited to rely not only on our own strength but on God’s wisdom. Perseverance becomes a form of witness. Today, may we remain courageous, gentle, and faithful in every trial.

Matthew 10:7-15

And going, preach, saying: The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils: freely have you received, freely give. Do not possess gold, nor silver, nor money in your purses: Nor scrip for your journey, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor a staff; for the workman is worthy of his meat. And into whatsoever city or town you shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide till you go thence. And when you come into the house, salute it, saying: Peace be to this house. And if that house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace shall return to you. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words: going forth out of that house or city shake off the dust from your feet. Amen I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

In Matthew 10:7-15, Jesus sends His disciples to proclaim that the Kingdom of heaven is at hand. He instructs them to give freely, travel simply, and trust God’s providence. This Gospel challenges us to let go of the need to control everything before we serve. Mission requires faith, generosity, and dependence on God. We are reminded that the Gospel is a gift, not something to be used for personal gain. Today, may our words and actions announce God’s nearness, especially through kindness, simplicity, and trustful service to others.

Matthew 10:1-7

And having called his twelve disciples together, he gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of diseases, and all manner of infirmities. And the names of the twelve Apostles are these: The first, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the publican, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. These twelve Jesus sent: commanding them, saying: Go ye not into the way of the Gentiles, and into the city of the Samaritans enter ye not. But go ye rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And going, preach, saying: The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

In Matthew 10:1-7, Jesus calls the Twelve and sends them out with authority to serve. Their mission begins not with personal ability, but with Christ’s calling and power. This Gospel reminds us that every disciple is entrusted with a mission. We may not be sent in dramatic ways, but we are called to bring healing, encouragement, and the nearness of God’s Kingdom into daily life. Jesus works through ordinary people who are willing to follow Him. Today, may we listen to His call and serve faithfully wherever He sends us.

Matthew 9:32-38

And when they were gone out, behold they brought him a dumb man, possessed with a devil. And after the devil was cast out, the dumb man spoke, and the multitudes wondered, saying, Never was the like seen in Israel. But the Pharisees said, By the prince of devils he casteth out devils. And Jesus went about all the cities and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease, and every infirmity. And seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them: because they were distressed, and lying like sheep that have no shepherd. Then he saith to his disciples, The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest.

In Matthew 9:32-38, Jesus heals, teaches, and looks upon the crowds with compassion because they are troubled and abandoned. His heart is moved by human suffering. This Gospel reminds us that Christian mission begins with compassion, not obligation or pride. Jesus sees people not as problems, but as beloved children in need of guidance and hope. He also calls for laborers in the harvest, inviting us to share in His work. Today, we are asked to notice those who are weary around us and become instruments of His kindness, mercy, and truth.

Matthew 9:18-26

As he was speaking these things unto them, behold a certain ruler came up, and adored him, saying: Lord, my daughter is even now dead; but come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. And Jesus rising up followed him, with his disciples. And behold a woman who was troubled with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment. For she said within herself: If I shall touch only his garment, I shall be healed. But Jesus turning and seeing her, said: Be of good heart, daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour. And when Jesus was come into the house of the ruler, and saw the minstrels and the multitude making a rout, He said: Give place, for the girl is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. And when the multitude was put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand. And the maid arose. And the fame hereof went abroad into all that country.

In Matthew 9:18-26, Jesus responds to both a grieving father and a suffering woman with compassion and power. Their situations are different, but both approach Him with faith. The woman reaches out quietly, while the father pleads openly, yet Jesus meets them both. This Gospel reminds us that no pain is too hidden and no situation too hopeless for Christ. He sees our suffering, hears our prayers, and restores life where we fear only loss. Today, may we reach for Him with trust, believing that His mercy can heal what is wounded and revive what seems dead.

Matthew 11:25-30

At that time Jesus answered and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to little ones. Yea, Father: for so hath it seemed good in thy sight. All things are delivered to me by my Father. And no one knoweth the Son but the Father: neither doth any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom it shall please the Son to reveal him. Come to me all you that labor and are burdened, and I will refresh you. Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: And you shall find rest to your souls. For my yoke is sweet and my burden light.

In Matthew 11:25-30, Jesus invites the weary and burdened to come to Him for rest. His words are deeply comforting, especially for those carrying hidden struggles, responsibilities, or anxieties. Christ does not promise a life without burdens, but He offers to carry them with us and teach us His meek and humble heart. True rest comes not from escaping life, but from trusting Him in the middle of it. Today, we are invited to surrender our heaviness to Jesus and receive the peace that only His loving presence can give.

Matthew 9:14-17

Then came to him the disciples of John, saying: Why do we and the Pharisees, fast often, but thy disciples do not fast? And Jesus said to them: Can the children of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast. And nobody putteth a piece of raw cloth unto an old garment. For it taketh away the fulness thereof from the garment, and there is made a greater rent. Neither do they put new wine into old bottles. Otherwise the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish. But new wine they put into new bottles: and both are preserved.

In Matthew 9:14-17, Jesus teaches that His presence brings something new. The images of new cloth and new wine remind us that discipleship cannot simply be added onto unchanged hearts. Christ desires renewal from within. Fasting, prayer, and religious practices have meaning when they lead us into deeper relationship with Him. This Gospel invites us to examine whether our faith has become routine or whether we are truly allowing Jesus to make us new. May our hearts become fresh wineskins, ready to receive the grace, joy, and transformation He offers.

John 20:24-29

Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said to him: We have seen the Lord. But he said to them: Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the place of the nails and put my hand into his side, I will not believe. And after eight days, again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst and said: Peace be to you. Then he said to Thomas: Put in thy finger hither and see my hands. And bring hither the hand and put it into my side. And be not faithless, but believing. Thomas answered and said to him: My Lord and my God. Jesus saith to him: Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen and have believed.

On the feast of St. Thomas the Apostle, John 20:24-29 shows a disciple who struggles to believe until he encounters the risen Lord. Jesus does not reject Thomas in his doubt; He meets him with mercy and invites him into deeper faith. This Gospel encourages all who wrestle with questions, uncertainty, or spiritual dryness. Faith is not pretending we have no doubts, but bringing them honestly to Christ. Like Thomas, may we come to recognize Jesus personally and proclaim with confidence, ‘My Lord and my God.’ Blessed are those who believe even without seeing.

Matthew 9:1-8

And entering into a boat, he passed over the water and came into his own city. And behold they brought to him one sick of the palsy lying in a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man sick of the palsy: Be of good heart, son, thy sins are forgiven thee. And behold some of the scribes said within themselves: He blasphemeth. And Jesus seeing their thoughts, said: Why do you think evil in your hearts? Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee: or to say, Arise, and walk? But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then said he to the man sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house. And he arose, and went into his house. And the multitude seeing it, feared, and glorified God that gave such power to men.

In Matthew 9:1-8, Jesus heals the paralytic by first declaring forgiveness of sins. The crowd sees a physical miracle, but Jesus reveals something even deeper: the mercy of God restores the whole person. Sometimes we seek solutions only for visible problems, while Christ also desires to heal the hidden wounds of guilt, shame, and spiritual weakness. The faith of the man’s friends also reminds us of the power of intercession and community. Today, we are invited to bring ourselves and others before Jesus with trust, believing that His mercy can raise us to new life.

Matthew 8:28-34

And when he was come on the other side of the water, into the country of the Gerasens, there met him two that were possessed with devils, coming out of the sepulchres, exceeding fierce, so that none could pass by that way. And behold they cried out, saying: What have we to do with thee, Jesus Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? And there was, not far from them, a herd of many swine feeding. And the devils besought him, saying: If thou cast us out hence, send us into the herd of swine. And he said to them: Go. But they going out went into the swine, and behold the whole herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea: and they perished in the waters. And they that kept them fled: and coming into the city, told every thing, and concerning them that had been possessed by the devils. And behold the whole city went out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart from their coast.

In Matthew 8:28-34, Jesus enters a place marked by fear and bondage, and His authority immediately confronts evil. The possessed men are restored, yet the people ask Jesus to leave because His power disrupts what they know. This Gospel invites us to ask whether we truly welcome Christ’s healing, especially when it challenges our comfort, habits, or attachments. Jesus desires to free us from anything that keeps us isolated or afraid. May we not push Him away, but open our hearts to His saving presence and allow His peace to reclaim every part of our lives.
