Watch today's complete Catholic Daily Mass readings for the Memorial of Saint Teresa of Jesus, Virgin and Doctor of the Church, followed by a reflection connecting Jesus' prophetic woes to Teresa's lifelong battle against religious pretense.In this video, you'll experience Paul's warning from Romans about judging others while doing the same things yourself, the Responsorial Psalm declaring God repays according to works, and the Gospel where Jesus pronounces devastating woes on religious leaders who've mastered performance while remaining spiritually dead.The reflection explores why Teresa would have loved this Gospel—her entire reform project confronted the exact problem Jesus exposes. When she tried to return Carmelite communities to radical prayer and poverty, the response was violent opposition because religious systems protect themselves ruthlessly. She spent her life calling people back from comfortable observance to radical encounter with God.You'll discover why Jesus compares religious leaders to unmarked graves that contaminate everyone they touch, how you can be meticulous about observance while your heart remains unchanged, what Paul means about judging others while excusing yourself, and why God repays according to actual works not religious credentials. This reflection challenges whether your Christianity is performance or transformation.Perfect for Catholics examining whether they tithe herbs while neglecting justice, Christians who pursue visible honor while their relationship with God remains superficial, believers discovering they judge others for sins they excuse in themselves, and anyone ready to let Teresa's radical commitment challenge their comfortable religious observance.📖 ReadingsRomans 2:1-11Psalm 62Luke 11: 42-46⏱️ Timeline00:00 Introduction00:15 Reading I - Romans 2:1-1101:38 Psalm Response - Psalm 6206:06 Gospel - Luke 11: 42-4606:53 ReflectionPerfect for Catholics who measure religious observance carefully while neglecting justice, Christians pursuing visible honor while their relationship with God remains superficial, believers who judge others for sins they excuse themselves, anyone discovering their religious practice leaves character unchanged, people studying Jesus' prophetic style, and those ready to let Saint Teresa challenge their comfortable Christianity.🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?
