📖 FIRST READING OF THE DAY
🗓️ June 21, 2025
📍 Saturday – Memorial of St. Aloysius Gonzaga
2 Corinthians 12:1–10
"My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness."
St. Paul opens his heart to the Corinthians, sharing a mysterious and powerful vision he received—but more importantly, he reveals the thorn in his flesh, a suffering that kept him humble. Through it all, God told him, “My grace is sufficient for you.”
💭 Even in your weakest moments, God's grace does not run out. He does not expect perfection from you—He invites you to rely fully on Him. Let this reading remind us:
👉 Your trials are not your defeat; they are your doorway to grace.
🙏 Lord, teach me to embrace my weaknesses, knowing You work powerfully through them.
