Wednesday's Gospel: Elijah Challenges the Prophets of Baal

Every day, the Catholic Church proposes a Bible reading for reflection. This Wednesday, June 10, the first reading from the book of Kings (18:20-39) presents the dramatic showdown between the prophet Elijah and the 450 prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel. The passage culminates with divine intervention consuming the sacrifice, showing who the true God is.

The reading is framed by the request of the responsorial psalm: "Keep me safe, O God, for in you I take refuge." A call to trust that resonates in times of uncertainty. The homily by Father Santiago Martín, of the Franciscans of Mary, delves into the message of exclusive fidelity.

The faithful can trinc the day with the Chaplet of Divine Mercy at 15:00, Holy Mass live at 20:00 and the Holy Rosary at 22:00. Links to these broadcasts are shared in online communities, keeping the tradition of daily prayer alive.

For those wishing to prepare for the liturgy, the saints of the day are available on Vatican News, and the full Gospel reading can be consulted in online missals.
