Daily Oratory provides Scripture references and original reflections. It does not republish full copyrighted lectionary readings.
This upcoming daily reflection invites the faithful to receive Christ's peace not as the absence of difficulty, but as communion with Him in the midst of it.
The readings point toward fuller initiation, stronger witness, and endurance before Pentecost.
Connection between the readings
The readings move from incomplete understanding toward fuller sacramental life and courageous witness.

Jesus, give me Your peace and keep me faithful when I feel pressed by the world. Amen.
