Judges 13:2-7,24-25
Psalm 70(71):3-6,16-17
Luke 1:5-25
The first reading and the gospel highlight the faith and trust of the patriarchs, such as Samson and John, who glorified God in Israel.
Today, faith like GPS, strengthening our divine connection. Scriptures urge us to anticipate Christ, finding Him in unexpected places. Jesus calls us to support marginalized people—those isolated, in distress, poor, homeless, or from diverse backgrounds—who need our compassion, like Joseph, Mary, and Jesus.
