Gospel of the Day (Mark 6,1-6)

Jesus departed from there and came to his native place, accompanied by his disciples.
When the sabbath came he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished. They said, "Where did this man get all this? What kind of wisdom has been given him? What mighty deeds are wrought by his hands! Is he not the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him.
Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and among his own kin and in his own house."
So he was not able to perform any mighty deed there, apart from curing a few sick people by laying his hands on them. He was amazed at their lack of faith.

A letter by the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life released last week highlighted that Pope Leo XIV has persistently indicated “peace not as an abstract utopia, but as a demanding and daily journey that requires listening, dialogue, patience, conversion of mind and heart, and rejection of the logic of the strong prevailing over the weak. Peace is not born from opposition, but from encounter, from shared responsibility...” The letter states that “For this reason, consecrated life, when it remains close to the wounds of humanity without yielding to the logic of conflict, yet without renouncing speaking God’s truth about humanity and history, becomes - often without fanfare - an artisan of peace. Dear consecrated women and men, we thank you for your perseverance when the fruits seem distant, for the peace you sow even when it is not recognised.”
