Liturgical year 2026 (Cycle A/II)
Liturgical color: Green or Red
First Reading: Second Kings 17: 5-8, 13-15a, 18
In his great anger against Israel, the LORD put them away out of his sight. Only the tribe of Judah was left.
(Reader) A reading from the second Book of Kings.
Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, occupied the whole land
and attacked Samaria, which he besieged for three years.
In the ninth year of Hoshea, king of Israel
the king of Assyria took Samaria,
and deported the children of Israel to Assyria,
settling them in Halah, at the Habor, a river of Gozan,
and the cities of the Medes.
This came about because the children of Israel sinned against the LORD,
their God, who had brought them up from the land of Egypt,
from under the domination of Pharaoh, king of Egypt,
and because they venerated other gods.
They followed the rites of the nations
whom the LORD had cleared out of the way of the children of Israel
and the kings of Israel whom they set up.
And though the LORD warned Israel and Judah
by every prophet and seer,
“Give up your evil ways and keep my commandments and statutes,
in accordance with the entire law which I enjoined on your fathers
and which I sent you by my servants the prophets,”
they did not listen, but were as stiff-necked as their fathers,
who had not believed in the LORD, their God.
They rejected his statutes,
the covenant which he had made with their fathers,
and the warnings which he had given them, till,
in his great anger against Israel,
the LORD put them away out of his sight.
Only the tribe of Judah was left.
(Reader) The Word of the Lord.
(All) Thanks be to God.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 60:3, 4-5, 12-13
℟. (7b) Help
us with your right hand, O Lord, and answer us.
O God, you have rejected us and
broken our defenses;
you have been angry; rally us!
℟. Help
us with your right hand, O Lord, and answer us.
You have rocked the country and split it open;
repair the cracks in it, for it is tottering.
You have made your people feel hardships;
you have given us stupefying wine.
℟. Help
us with your right hand, O Lord, and answer us.
Have not you, O God, rejected us,
so that you go not forth, O God, with our armies?
Give us aid against the foe,
for worthless is the help of men.
℟. Help
us with your right hand, O Lord, and answer us.
Gospel acclamation: Alleluia: Hebrews 4: 12
℟. Alleluia, alleluia.
The word of God is living and effective, able to discern reflections and thoughts of
the heart.
℟. Alleluia, alleluia.
Gospel: Matthew 7:1-5
Remove the wooden beam from your
eye first.
✠ (Reader) A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
(All) Glory to you, O Lord.
Jesus said to his disciples:
“Stop judging, that you may not be judged.
For as you judge, so will you be judged,
and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to
you.
Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye,
but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye?
How can you say to your brother,
‘Let me remove that splinter from your eye,’
while the wooden beam is in your eye?
You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first;
then you will see clearly
to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye.”
(Reader) The Gospel of the Lord.
(All) Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
For our reflection today:
This devotional material is suitable for all levels of society, especially for personal, family and community use. Every group and community as well as the Congregation in the Jesus, Mary, Joseph Ministry of Love (Blessed and Saints and the Nine Choirs of Angels) are encouraged to use it freely.
The words of the Popes.
In this Sunday’s Gospel (cf. Mt
10:26-33) the invitation that Jesus addresses to His disciples resonates: to
have no fear, to be strong and confident in the face of life’s challenges, as
he forewarns them of the adversities that await them. Today’s passage is part
of the missionary discourse, with which the Teacher prepares the Apostles for
their first experience of proclaiming the Kingdom of God. Jesus persistently
exhorts them to “have no fear”. Fear is one of the most terrible enemies of our
Christian life. Jesus exhorts: “have no fear”, “fear not”. And Jesus describes
three tangible situations that they will find themselves facing.
They are like three temptations: to sugar-coat the Gospel, to water it down; second: persecution; and third: the feeling that God has left us alone. Even Jesus suffered this trial in the Garden of Olives and on the Cross: “Father, why have you forsaken me?”, Jesus asks. At times one feels this spiritual barrenness; we must not fear it. The Father takes care of us, because our value is great in His eyes. What matters is frankness, the courage of our witness, our witness of faith: “recognizing Jesus before men” and going forth doing good. (Pope Francis, Angelus, 21 June 2020)
