Today's Gospel | Thursday, December 11, 2025 | Matthew 11:11-15 | The Kingdom is seized with courage
📖 A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew 11:11-15 At that time, Jesus said to the crowds: “Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet even the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence, and the violent have been trying to seize it. For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John. And he is Elijah, the one who was to come, if you are willing to accept it. Whoever has ears, let them hear.” 🙏 Reflection on Today’s Gospel: Today Jesus reveals to us the greatness of John the Baptist, the prophet who prepared the way of the Lord with courage, truth, and absolute faithfulness. But he also teaches us something profound: entering the Kingdom requires decisiveness, spiritual strength, and inner courage. The “violence” Jesus speaks of is not aggression, but the firmness of heart that fights against sin, selfishness, and complacency in order to embrace the new life God offers. The Kingdom is won with perseverance, humility, dedication, and a heart that does not give up. Today the Lord tells you: “Wake up, fight, move forward. My Kingdom is for those who dare to love me decisively.” 💬 Tell us in the comments: What area of your life needs spiritual courage to draw closer to God? 📌 Video Chapters 0:00 Introduction 0:06 First Reading, from the Book of Isaiah 41:13-20 2:05 Psalm 144.
