Daily Mass Readings for June 27, 2025: Gospel — Lc 15,3-7

1 1 “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Look, I myself will search for my sheep and seek them out. 1 ² As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his scattered sheep, so I will seek out my flock. I will rescue them from all the places where they have been scattered on a cloudy, dark day. 1 ³ I will bring them out from among the peoples and gather them from foreign countries; I will bring them to their own land. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the streams and all the inhabited places of the land. 1 ⁴ In a good pasture I will feed them; the mountain heights of Israel will be their pasture. There they will lie down in a lush pasture, and they will feed on rich grass on the mountains of Israel. 1 ⁵ I myself will feed my sheep and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Sovereign Lord. 1 ⁶ I will seek the lost and bring back the strays; I will bandage the injured and strengthen the sick, but the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them—with judgment!

⁵ And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. ⁶ For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. ⁷ (For rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person perhaps someone might possibly dare to die.) ⁸ But God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ⁹ Much more then, because we have now been declared righteous by his blood, we will be saved through him from God’s wrath. 1 ⁰ For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, since we have been reconciled, will we be saved by his life? 1 ¹ Not only this, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received this reconciliation.
