INTRODUCTION
Today, we celebrate Thursday of the Third Week in Ordinary Time. And the readings of this day invites us to know that, we are called to build each other up in faith and love.

FROM OUR FIRST READING
In our first reading, we see the importance of encouraging one another to stay strong in our relationship with God. Faith is not something we live out alone; it is meant to be shared and supported by others.

WHAT DO WE LEARN FROM OUR FIRST READING?
As Christians, we are part of a community, and that means we are responsible for helping each other grow in faith. Sometimes this can mean offering a kind word, a listening ear, or a simple prayer for someone in need. By supporting each other, we create a strong, faith-filled community.

FROM OUR GOSPEL READING
In our Gospel Reading today, Jesus teaches that the more we listen to His words, the more we will understand. This shows us that it is not enough to hear God’s message; we must listen carefully and allow it to change our lives. Listening deeply requires focus, patience, and a willingness to respond.

WHAT DO WE LEARN FROM OUR GOSPEL PASSAGE OF TODAY?
Sometimes we are distracted or too busy to really listen to God. But Jesus reminds us that the more attention we give to His words, the more we will grow in understanding. This understanding helps us make better choices and live more faithfully according to God’s will.

CONCLUSION
As we reflect on the liturgy of today, we are encouraged to let our faith shine, support others in their walk with God, and truly listen to what God is saying to us. By doing so, we grow closer to God and help others do the same. Let us continue to be a light to the world and live our faith openly.

Have a Blessed Thursday Everyone
