1

First Reading

Exodus 19:2-6a

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.

19:2For departing out of Raphidim, and coming to the desert of Sinai, they camped in the same place, and there Israel pitched their tents over against the mountain.

3And Moses went up to God: and the Lord called to him from the mountain, and said: Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:

4You have seen what I have done to the Egyptians, how I have carried you upon the wings of eagles, and have taken you to myself.

5If therefore you will hear my voice, and keep my covenant, you shall be my peculiar possession above all people: for all the earth is mine.

6And you shall be to me a priestly kingdom, and a holy nation. Those are the words you shall speak to the children of Israel.

Psalm

Psalm 100:1-2, 3, 5

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.

100:1A psalm of praise.

2Sing joyfully to God, all the earth: serve you the Lord with gladness. Come in before his presence with exceeding great joy.

3Know you that the Lord he is God: he made us, and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture.

5for the Lord is sweet, his mercy lasts forever, and his truth to generation and generation.

Second Reading

Romans 5:6-11

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.

5:6For why did Christ, when as yet we were weak, according to the time, die for the ungodly?

7For scarce for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man some one would dare to die.

8But God commendeth his charity towards us; because when as yet we were sinners, according to the time,

9Christ died for us; much more therefore, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him.

10For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son; much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.

11And not only so; but also we glory in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received reconciliation.

Gospel

Matthew 9:36—10:8

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.

9:36And seeing the crowds, he had compassion on them: because they were distressed, and lying like sheep that have no shepherd.

37Then he says to his disciples, The harvest indeed is great, but the workers are few.

38Pray you therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth workers into his harvest.

10:1And having called his twelve disciples together, he gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of diseases, and all manner of infirmities.

2And the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother,

3James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus,

4Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

5These twelve Jesus sent: commanding them, saying: Go you not into the way of the Gentiles, and into the city of the Samaritans enter you not.

6But go you rather to the lost sheep of the people of Israel.

7And going, preach, saying: The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

8Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils: freely have you received, freely give.

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

Exodus 19:2-6a

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 100:1-2, 3, 5

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

Romans 5:6-11

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

Matthew 9:36—10:8

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 14, 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.
