Daily Gospel - Wednesday, June 18, 2025 - Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18 - Catholic Bible
Welcome to our daily encounter with the Word of God! Today, we reflect on the readings from the Second Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians (2Cor 9:6-11) and the Gospel according to Saint Matthew (Matthew 6:1-6,16-18). These passages invite us to live generosity and sincerity in our relationship with God and others. First Reading (2Cor 9:6-11): Saint Paul reminds us that generosity should be done with joy and without obligation. He uses the metaphor of sowing to show that whoever sows generously will also reap abundantly. God鈥檚 gift can supply all our needs so that we may continue doing good and multiplying spiritual fruits. This passage inspires us to trust in divine providence and to cultivate an open heart, willing to give without expecting anything in return, knowing that God provides and rewards generosity. Gospel (Matthew 6:1-6,16-18): In the Gospel, Jesus warns us against doing things to be seen by others, especially in righteousness, prayer, and fasting. He invites us to live these acts in secret, so that our Father, who sees in secret, will reward us. This message calls us to authenticity in faith, avoiding hypocrisy and valuing an intimate and sincere relationship with God. True spirituality is revealed in the heart, not in outward appearances. Reflection and Call to Conversion Today鈥檚 readings challenge us to cultivate joyful generosity and authentic spirituality, far from appearances. May we trust in God, who sees all in secret, and strive to live a true faith that transforms the heart and the world around us. Leave in the comments how these words touch your life and how you have practiced generosity and sincere prayer. 馃摉 Readings of the Day: First Reading: 2Cor 9:6-11 Gospel: Matthew 6:1-6,16-18
