Today’s Catholic Reflection
In the reading from Titus, the author speaks to different groups in the community. Older men are encouraged to be dignified and self-controlled. Older women are called to show reverent behavior and teach younger women about love and self-control. Younger men are urged to practice self-discipline and be examples of good deeds. The passage speaks of God's grace, which brings salvation and guides believers to reject ungodly desires while they await the return of Jesus Christ.
The Psalm reinforces trust in the Lord as the source of salvation. It encourages people to do good and find joy in the Lord. In return, there is a promise of security and a lasting inheritance for the righteous. The Gospel shares Jesus' teaching on the relationship between a master and servant. He reminds His followers to see themselves as unprofitable servants who have simply done what was expected of them.
