Diocese of Požega marks feast of St. Pio of Pietrelcina

The Diocese of Požega is observing the feast of St. Pio of Pietrelcina, a priest, according to its liturgical calendar.

The diocese scheduled readings from zr 30, 5-9, Ps 118, 29. 72. 89. 101. 104. 163, and Lk 9, 1-6. The diocese provided a reflection on the Gospel, noting that while many people have personal experiences with Jesus, others, like Herod, only hear about him. The reflection encourages people to approach Jesus with open hearts to avoid the internal resistance that prevented Herod from recognizing the truth.
