Daily Gospel - Wednesday, March 26, 2025 - Matthew 5,17-19 - Catholic Bible

Welcome to our daily encounter with the Word of God! Today, we will reflect on the powerful messages of the day's biblical readings, extracted from the Book of Deuteronomy (Deuteronomy 4,1.5-9) and the Gospel according to Saint Matthew (Matthew 5,17-19). These passages invite us to reflect on the importance of living God's Law and preserving it in our hearts. First Reading (Deuteronomy 4,1.5-9): In today's reading, Moses appeals to the people of Israel to carefully observe the laws and commandments given by God, stating that they are the way to life and fidelity to the Lord. He reminds the people that by following the Law, they become an example to other nations. Moses also instructs them to teach their children and grandchildren to keep these commandments, so that God's wisdom will be passed down from generation to generation. This passage teaches us the importance of transmitting God’s teachings and living according to His will. God's Law is not just a set of rules, but a guide to a full and blessed life. We must make God's Word the basis of our lives and share it with future generations. Gospel (Matthew 5,17-19): In today's Gospel, Jesus talks about the importance of not disregarding the Law, but of fulfilling it fully. He claims that he did not come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it. Jesus reveals that even the smallest commandment must be kept, and whoever teaches to obey the commandments will be great in the Kingdom of Heaven. This passage reminds us that true Christian faith is not a replacement for God's Law, but its fulfillment. Jesus not only confirms the Law, but interprets it in its full sense, revealing that the Law leads to salvation when lived with love and truth. Reflection and Call to Conversion Today's readings invite us to reflect on the role of God's Law in our lives. Just as Moses exhorts the people to live according to the commandments and pass them on, we are called to make the Word of God the foundation of our daily lives. Jesus, in turn, teaches us that, by living the Law with love, we fulfill God's will and get closer to His Kingdom. May these passages inspire your spiritual journey and strengthen your fidelity to God! Leave in the comments how you experience God's commandments and how the Word is transmitted in your family. 📖 Readings of the Day: First Reading: Deuteronomy 4,1.5-9 Gospel: Matthew 5,17-19
