Thursday – 17th Week of Ordinary Time B – Saint Alphonsus Ligouri, Priest and Founder
Today, as we gather to celebrate the memorial of Saint Alphonsus Ligouri, we find ourselves enriched by the readings that remind us of God’s transformative power and the expansive nature of His kingdom. In Jeremiah, we see the image of the potter skillfully working the clay, shaping it according to his will. In the Gospel, Jesus presents the metaphor of the net cast into the sea, gathering fish of every kind, illustrating the diversity, complimentary and universal nature of God's kingdom.
