Today’s quote and prayer from
“Psalms 365: Develop a Life of Worship and Prayer
”


Today’s
Reading:
Psalm 74:1-8 (NIV)*

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

https://davidkitz.blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/ps-741-8-mix-1final.mp3

LORD God,
help us to become agents of change
in our land.
We want people throughout this country
to turn to you in repentance and faith.
Open their eyes to their need
and your reality.
Amen.

Gospel Reading:
Causing to Stumble

“If anyone causes one of these little ones—
those who believe in me—to stumble,
it would be better for them
to have a large millstone hung around their neck
and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
Woe to the world
because of the things that cause people to stumble!
Such things must come,
but woe to the person through whom they come!
If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble,
cut it off and throw it away.
It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled
than to have two hands or two feet
and be thrown into eternal fire.
And if your eye causes you to stumble,
gouge it out and throw it away.
It is better for you to enter life with one eye
than to have two eyes
and be thrown into the fire of hell.

(Matthew 18:6-9).

* * *

Dear friends,
 if our hearts do not condemn us,
we have confidence before God

and receive from him anything we ask, 
because we keep his commands 
and do what pleases him.

(1 John 3:21-22 NIV)

Gospel Reading:
The Greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven

At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked,
“Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

He called a little child to him,
and placed the child among them.
And he said:
“Truly I tell you,
unless you change and become like little children,
you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position
of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
And whoever welcomes one such child
in my name welcomes me.
(Matthew 18:1-5).

Gospel Reading:
The Temple Tax

After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum,
the collectors of the two-drachma temple tax
came to Peter and asked,
“Doesn’t your teacher pay the temple tax?”

“Yes, he does,” he replied.

When Peter came into the house,
Jesus was the first to speak.
“What do you think, Simon?” he asked.
“From whom do the kings of the earth
collect duty and taxes—
from their own children or from others?”

“From others,” Peter answered.

“Then the children are exempt,”
Jesus said to him.

“But so that we may not cause offense,
go to the lake and throw out your line.
Take the first fish you catch;
open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin.
Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours.”
(Matthew 17:24-27).

LORD God,
help me to tend to the garden of my own heart.

help me to decapitate that thought.
I fix my affections on you
and not the things of this world.
Amen.

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Boy

When they came to the crowd,
a man approached Jesus and knelt before him.
“Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said.
“He has seizures and is suffering greatly.
He often falls into the fire or into the water.
I brought him to your disciples,
but they could not heal him.”

 “You unbelieving and perverse generation,”
Jesus replied,
“how long shall I stay with you?
How long shall I put up with you?
Bring the boy here to me.”
 
Jesus rebuked the demon,
and it came out of the boy,
and he was healed at that moment.

Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked,
“Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

He replied,
“Because you have so little faith.
Truly I tell you,
if you have faith as small as a mustard seed,
you can say to this mountain,
‘Move from here to there,’
and it will move.
Nothing will be impossible for you.”
(Matthew 17:14-21).

LORD God,

Lord,

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Predicts His Death

From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples
that he must go to Jerusalem
and suffer many things at the hands of the elders,
the chief priests and the teachers of the law,
and that he must be killed
and on the third day be raised to life.

Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
“Never, Lord!” he said.
“This shall never happen to you!”

Jesus turned and said to Peter,
“Get behind me, Satan!
You are a stumbling block to me;
you do not have in mind the concerns of God,
but merely human concerns.”

Then Jesus said to his disciples,
“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves
and take up their cross and follow me.
For whoever wants to save their life will lose it,
but whoever loses their life for me will find it.
What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world,
yet forfeit their soul?
Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?
For the Son of Man is going to come
in his Father’s glory with his angels,
and then he will reward each person
according to what they have done.

“Truly I tell you,
some who are standing here
will not taste death
before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
(Matthew 16:21-28).

Gospel Reading:
Peter Declares That Jesus Is the Messiah

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi,
he asked his disciples,
“Who do people say the Son of Man is?”

They replied,
“Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah;
and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

“But what about you?”
he asked.
“Who do you say I am?”

Simon Peter answered,
“You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

Jesus replied,
“Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah,
for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood,
but by my Father in heaven.

And I tell you that you are Peter,
and on this rock I will build my church,
and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven;
whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven,
and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”
 
Then he ordered his disciples
not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
(Matthew 16:13-20).

Gospel Reading:
The Yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees

When they went across the lake,
the disciples forgot to take bread.
 “Be careful,” Jesus said to them.
“Be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

They discussed this among themselves and said,
“It is because we didn’t bring any bread.”

Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked,
“You of little faith, why are you talking among yourselves about having no bread?
Do you still not understand?
Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand,
and how many basketfuls you gathered?

Or the seven loaves for the four thousand,
and how many basketfuls you gathered?

How is it you don’t understand that I was not talking to you about bread?
But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
 
Then they understood

that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread,
but against the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
(Matthew 16:5-12).

Gospel Reading:
The Demand for a Sign

The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him
by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.

He replied,
“When evening comes, you say,
‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’

and in the morning,
‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’
You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky,
but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.
A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a sign,
but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.”
Jesus then left them and went away.
(Matthew 16:1-4).

Gospel Reading:
Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

When Jesus heard what had happened,
he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place.
Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns.
When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd,
he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said,
“This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late.
Send the crowds away,
so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”

Jesus replied,
“They do not need to go away.
You give them something to eat.”

“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,”
they answered.

“Bring them here to me,” he said.
And he directed the people to sit down on the grass.
Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven,
he gave thanks and broke the loaves.
Then he gave them to the disciples,
and the disciples gave them to the people.
They all ate and were satisfied,
and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls
of broken pieces that were left over.
The number of those who ate was about five thousand men,
besides women and children.
(Matthew 14:13-21).

Gospel Reading:
John the Baptist Beheaded

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the reports about Jesus,
and he said to his attendants,
“This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead!
That is why miraculous powers are at work in him.”

Now Herod had arrested John and bound him
and put him in prison because of Herodias,
his brother Philip’s wife, 
for John had been saying to him:
“It is not lawful for you to have her.” 

Herod wanted to kill John,
but he was afraid of the people,
because they considered John a prophet.

On Herod’s birthday the daughter of Herodias
danced for the guests and pleased Herod so much
that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked. 

Prompted by her mother, she said,
“Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.” 

The king was distressed,
but because of his oaths and his dinner guests,
he ordered that her request be granted 
and had John beheaded in the prison.

His head was brought in on a platter and given to the girl,
who carried it to her mother.

John’s disciples came and took his body and buried it.

Then they went and told Jesus.
(Matthew 14:1-12).

Dear children,
let us not love with words or speech
but with actions and in truth.
