Evangelio de hoy, jueves 24 de septiembre de 2026

The Diocese of Asunción released the Gospel reading for Thursday, September 24, 2026, featuring a passage from San Lucas 9, 7-9 regarding the reaction of Herod to the ministry of Jesus.

The text states that the tetrarch Herodes became confused by reports of what Jesus did and taught. While some people claimed Jesus was Juan risen from the dead, others suggested he was Elías or an ancient prophet. Herodes, who had previously ordered the execution of Juan, questioned the identity of this man and sought to see him.

The accompanying meditation notes that Herodes's desire to see Jesus stemmed from curiosity rather than faith. The text emphasizes that the Church's mission is to offer the life found in Jesus through his passion, death, and resurrection, rather than seeking honors or providing answers meant to please others.
