Today's Catholic Mass Readings and Gospel Reflection – Tuesday 30 December 2025

Today's Catholic Mass Readings and Gospel Reflection – Tuesday 30 December 2025 First Reading: 1 John 2: 12-17 Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 95(96): 7-10 R\. “Let the heavens rejoice and earth be glad.” Gospel Reading: Luke 2: 36-40 The 6th day within the octave of Christmas — Year A "Choosing the Eternal: How to Overcome the World and Find Your Purpose with the Prophetess Anna" On this sixth day of the Octave of Christmas, we meet the prophetess Anna in the Temple (Luke, chapter 2, verses 36 through 40). This Catholic daily reflection explores her life of "fasting and prayer" and her joyful witness to the Christ Child. We dive into Saint John’s urgent warning (1st John, chapter 2, verses 12 through 17) not to love the "passing world" or its cravings—sensuality, lust, and pride. Discover how to let God’s Word make its home in you and why doing the will of the Father is the only way to remain forever. Join us to learn how to find your deliverance and "remain" in the light of the Incarnate Word. #ProphetessAnna #OvercomingTheWorld #CatholicChristmasOctave
