First Reading

Deuteronomy 8:2-3, 14b-16a

How to approach it

Read this as the first big movement of the day. Notice what God is doing, who is speaking, and what part of the story or teaching should stay with you.

8:2And you shall remember all the way through which the Lord your God has brought you for forty years through the desert, to afflict you and to prove you, and that the things that were in your heart might be made known, whether you would keep his commands or no.

3He troubled you with want, and gave you manna for your food, which neither you nor your fathers knew: to show that m not in bread alone does man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.

14Your heart be lifted up, and you remember not the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage:

15And was your leader in the great and terrible wilderness, in which there was the serpent burning with his breath, and the scorpion and the dipsas, and no waters at all: who brought forth streams out of the hardest rock,

16And fed you in the wilderness with manna which your fathers knew not. And after he had troubled and proved you, at the last he had mercy on you,

Psalm

Psalm 147:12-13, 14-15, 19-20

How to pray it

The psalm is meant to be prayed, not rushed. If the wording feels older, focus on the main movement of the prayer: trust, praise, sorrow, gratitude, or hope.

146:12To make your might known to the people: and the glory of the magnificence of your kingdom.

13Your kingdom is a kingdom of all ages: and your dominion lasts throughout all generations.

14The Lord lifteth up all that fall: and setteth up all that are cast down.

15The eyes of all hope in you, O Lord: and you givest them food in due season.

19He will do the will of them that fear him: and he will hear their prayer, and save them.

20The Lord keepeth all them that love him; but all the evil he will destroy.

Second Reading

1 Corinthians 10:16-17

How to read it

This reading often teaches Christians how to live with steadiness, charity, and faith. Look for one clear encouragement or warning you can carry into the day.

10:16The chalice of benediction, which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ$1 And the bread, which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord$1

17For we, being many, are one bread, one body, all that partake of one bread.

Gospel

John 6:51-58

What to watch for

The Gospel is the center of the reading set. Pay close attention to what Jesus says, what Jesus does, and what response he is asking for.

6:51I am the living bread which came down from heaven.

52If any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world.

53The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

54Then Jesus said to them: Truly, truly I say to you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you.

55He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, has eternal life: and I will raise him up in the last day.

56For my flesh is food indeed: and my blood is drink indeed.

57He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, remains in me, and I in him.

58As the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me.

How the readings move through Mass today

The Liturgy of the Word normally moves from the first reading to the psalm, then to the second reading when one is appointed, then to the Gospel, and then into the homily. On weekday Masses, the second reading is often omitted, so the Church moves from the psalm directly to the Gospel.

1

First Reading

Deuteronomy 8:2-3, 14b-16a

The first reading is usually taken from the Old Testament. It prepares the heart to hear how God has been acting through his covenant and promises.

2

Psalm

Psalm 147:12-13, 14-15, 19-20

The psalm is the Church’s prayerful response to the first reading. It helps the congregation answer God’s word with trust, praise, repentance, or hope.

3

Second Reading

1 Corinthians 10:16-17

The second reading is usually taken from the New Testament letters or Revelation. It helps connect the day’s proclamation to Christian life in the Church.

4

Gospel

John 6:51-58

The Gospel is the high point of the Liturgy of the Word. Catholics stand because Christ himself speaks to his people in a special way through the Gospel proclamation.

5

Homily

After the Gospel

The homily follows the Gospel. It should gather the day’s readings together, explain the mystery being celebrated, and help people carry the word of God into ordinary life.

What the homily usually draws together

A Catholic homily usually gathers the first reading, the psalm, and the Gospel into one spiritual movement. It may explain how the Old Testament prepares for Christ, how the apostles witness to the risen Lord, how the psalm teaches the Church to pray, and how the Gospel calls for faith and conversion now.

If you are preparing before Mass, try to carry one sentence, one image, or one invitation from the readings with you. That usually makes the homily easier to follow because you already know what part of God's word has stayed with you.

What about the Prayers of the Faithful for Sunday June 7, 2026?

The Prayers of the Faithful are usually written locally by a parish, diocese, or celebrant, so there is not always one universal text for this exact day. The scriptural readings above are the stable part the whole Church receives, and they usually shape the petitions that follow at Mass.

Source note

The day's references and liturgical celebration data come from the Catholic Readings API, while the on-site scripture text is rendered from public-domain Douay-Rheims sources so the day's readings can be read directly on the page.
