Catholic Missal of the day: Saturday, June 6 2026

Saturday of the Ninth week in Ordinary Time

Second Letter to Timothy

I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who willjudge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingly power:
proclaim the word; be persistent whether it is convenient or inconvenient; convince, reprimand, encourage through all patience and teaching.
For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine but, following their own desires and insatiable curiosity, will accumulate teachers
and will stop listening to the truth and will be diverted to myths.
But you, be self-possessed in all circumstances; put up with hardship; perform the work of an evangelist; fulfill your ministry.
For I am already being poured out like a libation, and the time of my departure is at hand.
I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith.
From now on the crown of righteousness awaits me, which the Lord, the just judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but to all who have longed for his appearance.

Psalms

My mouth shall be filled with your praise,
With your glory day by day.
Cast me not off in my old age;
As my strength fails, forsake me not.
But I will always hope
And praise you ever more and more.
My mouth shall declare your justice,
day by day your salvation.
I will treat of the mighty works of the Lord;
O GOD, I will tell of your singular justice.
O God, you have taught me from my youth,
and till the present I proclaim your wondrous deeds.
So will I give you thanks with music on the lyre,
For your faithfulness, O my God!
I will sing your praises with the harp,
O Holy One of Israel!

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark

In the course of his teaching Jesus said, "Beware of the scribes, who like to go around in long robes and accept greetings in the marketplaces,
seats of honor in synagogues, and places of honor at banquets.
They devour the houses of widows and, as a pretext, recite lengthy prayers. They will receive a very severe condemnation."
He sat down opposite the treasury and observed how the crowd put money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums.
A poor widow also came and put in two small coins worth a few cents.
Calling his disciples to himself, he said to them, "Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the other contributors to the treasury.
For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole livelihood."

St. Norbert(Bishop (c.1080-1134))

ST. NORBERTBishop(c.1080-1134) Norbert was a nobleman. He experienced a pious upbringing and later entered the ecclesiastical state. While residing at the court of Emperor Henry IV, his calling turned to scandal and he led a life of dissipation and luxury. When Norbert was 30 years old, he nearly died during a riding accident. While recovering, he experienced metanoia. Following a severe and searching preparation, he exposed the abuses of his Order. He was silenced at first by a local council, but obtained the pope's permission. He preached to listening crowds in France and the Netherlands. In the wild vale of Prémontré, Fr. Norbert gave some trained disciples the rule of St. Augustine, including white habits to denote their priestly purity. The Canons Regular, or Premonstratensians, united the active work of the country clergy with the obligations of monastic life. Their fervor renewed the vitality of the priesthood, quickened people's faith and refuted heresy. When a heretic named Tankelin appeared in Antwerp, denied the reality of the priesthood and blasphemed the Eucharist, Fr. Norbert exposed him and rekindled faith in Jesus' Blessed Sacrament. When apostates showed contempt for the Eucharist by burying it in filthy places, Fr. Norbert compelled them to recover the Sacred Hosts. The Hosts were found whole and undamaged and the Saint bore them back to the tabernacle. Hence, Saint Norbert is generally depicted with a monstrance in hand. In 1126, Fr. Norbert was appointed bishop of Magdeburg. He risked his own life and zealously carried out the work of reform. He passed away defending the Church at 53 years old.
