Catholic Daily Readings and Reflection | Wednesday of the Thirty-first Week in Ordinary Time | November 5, 2025

When you sit down and honestly count what discipleship costs, you'll discover you don't have enough. Nobody does. That's exactly the point. Jesus makes you count the cost to show you can't afford it on your own, so you'll ask for the grace to finish what you're starting. The tower gets built not because you had enough but because you counted the cost, discovered you were bankrupt, and accessed divine resources.
