Daily Readings | The Unknown God: When Philosophy Meets the Spirit | May 28, 2025

May 28, 2025 - Daily Catholic Lectionary Readings for Wednesday of the Sixth Week of Easter

Your coworker who meditates, your neighbor who finds God in nature, your friend who reads philosophy but calls Christianity narrow—they're all building altars to unknown gods. Paul in Athens shows us how to complete their seeking rather than condemn it, using their own spiritual hunger as bridge to Gospel truth. The Spirit works through secular culture, philosophy, and even pop spirituality to prepare hearts for Christ revelation.

In today's reflection you'll discover:
1. How to recognize spiritual seeking in secular culture as Gospel opportunities
2. Why attacking altars to unknown gods misses evangelism opportunities
3. What it means to build bridges with existing spiritual hunger rather than creating new interest
4. How the Spirit works through philosophy, art, and culture to prepare hearts for Christ

📖 Readings
Acts 17:15, 22—18:1; Psalm 148:1-2, 11-12, 13, 14; John 16:12-15
