Wednesday – 20th Week of Ordinary Time B - Memorial of Saint Pius X, Pope
Dear brothers and sisters, today we are invited to reflect on the powerful messages contained in our readings from Ezekiel and Matthew. We encounter the profound imagery of God as the ultimate Shepherd and the challenging parable of the laborers in the vineyard. Both readings challenge us to examine our roles as shepherds and laborers in the Lord’s vineyard, reminding us of our responsibilities toward one another and our call to serve with humility and generosity just as Pope Saint Pius X, whose memorial we celebrate today, so beautifully did in his own ministry as universal pastor of the Church.
