Mass Readings Reflection – 10 January 2026 (Saturday)

Today’s Mass readings remind us of three simple but challenging truths: God hears our prayers (even the messy ones), He delights in His people (yes, even us), and real discipleship means letting Jesus take the spotlight.

In this short 3-minute reflection, we explore: • Why prayer isn’t an online order form • How praise doesn’t require perfection • What “He must increase; I must decrease” looks like in everyday life

With gentle humor and practical insight, this episode connects the First Reading from 1 John, the joyful Psalm, and the Gospel’s powerful lesson in humility from John the Baptist.

Perfect for Catholics, catechumens, and anyone learning to trust God, praise Him freely, and step aside so Christ may shine.

🎙️ Short, reflective, and easy to listen to — ideal for your daily prayer routine.

Today’s readings remind us that faith doesn’t have to be complicated—it just has to be real.

From 1 John, we hear the reassuring truth that believing in Jesus isn’t a future promise on probation, but a present gift: eternal life, already given. The Psalm calls us to praise God even when life feels messy, delayed, or mildly irritating. And in the Gospel, Jesus does something shocking—He touches the one everyone else avoids, heals him, and then disappears to pray.

This short, humorous reflection connects Scripture to everyday life with warmth, wit, and honesty—perfect for Catholics, catechumens, and anyone trying to live the faith without overthinking it.

Listen, smile, reflect, and be reminded: Jesus is willing. Jesus is close. And faith still works.

What does it really mean to love God… when people are very hard to love?

Today’s Mass readings don’t let us hide behind “I love God” while ignoring everyone else. St John reminds us that real love always shows up in action, and Jesus boldly announces His mission to heal, free, and challenge hearts — starting with the people who think they already know Him.

In this short, light-hearted reflection, we explore:

• Why loving God is easy, but loving people is the real Christian workout
• Jesus’ first “sermon” — and why it made everyone uncomfortable
• How Christ’s mission continues through us today (whether we like it or not)

A faith-filled reflection with very funny humor, real-life application, and just enough truth to keep us awake before coffee.

🎙️ Perfect for Catholics, catechumens, and anyone trying to live the Gospel one imperfect day at a time.
