Catholic Missal of the day: Monday, June 8 2026

Monday of the Tenth week in Ordinary Time

1st book of Kings

Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab: "As the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, during these years there shall be no dew or rain except at my word."
The LORD then said to Elijah:
"Leave here, go east and hide in the Wadi Cherith, east of the Jordan.
You shall drink of the stream, and I have commanded ravens to feed you there."
So he left and did as the LORD had commanded. He went and remained by the Wadi Cherith, east of the Jordan.
Ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the stream.

Psalms

I lift up my eyes toward the mountains;
whence shall help come to me?
My help is from the LORD,
who made heaven and earth.
May he not suffer your foot to slip;
may he slumber not who guards you:
indeed he neither slumbers nor sleeps,
the guardian of Israel.
The LORD is your guardian; the LORD is your shade;
he is beside you at your right hand.
The sun shall not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The LORD will guard you from all evil;
he will guard your life.
The LORD will guard your coming and your going,
both now and forever.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew

When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain, and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
He began to teach them, saying:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you (falsely) because of me.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven."

St. Medard(Bishop (c. 457-545))

ST. MEDARDBishop(c. 457-545) Saint Medard was a French prelate and an exemplary pastor. He was born to a pious ruling family in Salency, France. He was compassionate to the poor during childhood and on one occasion gave his coat to a destitute blind man. When asked why, he answered that Christ's sufferings deeply affected him. Medard was ordained a priest at 33 years old and zealously performed his duties. His preaching touched hardened hearts. He sanctified his work and activity through prayer and the norms of piety. In 530, the thirteenth bishop of France passed away and Fr. Medard was unanimously chosen to fill the see. He was consecrated by St. Remigius who baptized King Clovis in 496. New dignities did not make Bp. Medard abate any of his mortifications. Although 72 at the time, he redoubled his labors. His work of abolishing idolatry was so successful that the Holy Spirit came to rest in the hearts of Celtic peoples. The conversions occurred amidst perilous and sometimes savage fuedal politics. In 545, with the work in Flanders complete, Bp. Medard returned to Noyon. Shortly after, he fell sick and passed away. St. Medard's body was buried in his own cathedral, but the many miracles at his tomb impelled King Clotaire to transfer the precious relics to Soissons.
