Gospel Reading:
The Narrow Gate

“Enter through the narrow gate.
For wide is the gate and broad is the road
that leads to destruction,
and many enter through it.

But small is the gate and narrow the road
that leads to life,
and only a few find it.

(Matthew 7:13-14).

* * *

This is how we know what love is:
Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.
And we ought to lay down our lives
for our brothers and sisters.
(1 John 3:16 NIV)

Gospel Reading:
The Sum of the Law and the Prophets

“Which of you,
if your son asks for bread,
will give him a stone?

Or if he asks for a fish,
will give him a snake?

If you, then, though you are evil,
know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more will your Father in heaven
give good gifts to those who ask him!

So in everything,
do to others
what you would have them do to you,
for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.

(Matthew 7:9-12).

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

https://davidkitz.blog/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/psalm-571-5-mix-1final.mp3

 LORD God,
you are my defender.
Help me daily to appreciate
your love and protection.
When the cruelty of this world assaults me,
I find shelter under your wings.
Amen.

Gospel Reading:
Do Not Judge Others

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
For in the same way you judge others,
you will be judged,
and with the measure you use,
it will be measured to you.

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust
in your brother’s eye and pay no attention
to the plank in your own eye?

How can you say to your brother,
‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’
when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?

You hypocrite,
first take the plank out of your own eye,
and then you will see clearly
to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

(Matthew 7:1-5).

 LORD God,

Gospel Reading:
Do Not Worry

“So do not worry, saying,
‘What shall we eat?’
or ‘What shall we drink?’
or ‘What shall we wear?’

For the pagans run after all these things,
and your heavenly Father knows
that you need them.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness,
and all these things will be given to you as well.

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.

(Matthew 6:31-34).

Gospel Reading:
Do Not Worry

“And why do you worry about clothes?
See how the flowers of the field grow.
They do not labor or spin.

Yet I tell you that not even Solomon
in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.

If that is how God clothes the grass of the field,
which is here today
and tomorrow is thrown into the fire,
will he not much more clothe you—
you of little faith?

(Matthew 6:28-30).

Do Not Worry

“Therefore I tell you,
do not worry about your life,
what you will eat or drink;
or about your body, what you will wear.
Is not life more than food,
and the body more than clothes?

Look at the birds of the air;
they do not sow or reap or store away in barns,
and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not much more valuable than they?

Can any one of you by worrying
add a single hour to your life?

Jesus and Thomas

A week later his disciples were in the house again,
and Thomas was with them.
Though the doors were locked,
Jesus came and stood among them and said,
“Peace be with you!”

Then he said to Thomas,
“Put your finger here;
see my hands.
Reach out your hand
and put it into my side.
Stop doubting and believe.”


Thomas said to him,
“My Lord and my God!”

Then Jesus told him,
“Because you have seen me,
you have believed;
blessed are those who have not seen
and yet have believed.”

Post Resurrection Reading:
Receive His Peace

On the evening of that first day of the week,
when the disciples were together,
with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders,
Jesus came and stood among them and said,
“Peace be with you!”

After he said this,
he showed them his hands and side.
The disciples were overjoyed
when they saw the Lord.

Again Jesus said,
“Peace be with you!
As the Father has sent me,
I am sending you.”

And with that he breathed on them and said,
“Receive the Holy Spirit.

If you forgive anyone’s sins,
their sins are forgiven;
if you do not forgive them,
they are not forgiven.”

(John 20:19-23).

Their Minds Were Opened

He said to them,
“This is what I told you
while I was still with you:
Everything must be fulfilled
that is written about me in the Law of Moses,
the Prophets and the Psalms.”

Then he opened their minds
so they could understand the Scriptures.

He told them, “This is what is written:
The Messiah will suffer
and rise from the dead on the third day,

and repentance for the forgiveness of sins
will be preached in his name to all nations,
beginning at Jerusalem.

You are witnesses of these things.
I am going to send you
what my Father has promised;
but stay in the city until you have been clothed
with power from on high.”

Ideal for the Season of Lent


Watch the triumphal entry of the donkey-riding king through the eyes of Marcus Longinus, the centurion charged with keeping the streets from erupting into open rebellion.

Look behind the scenes at the political plotting of King Herod, known as the scheming Fox for his ruthless shrewdness.

Get a front-row seat to the confrontation between the Jewish high priest Caiaphas and the Roman governor Pontius Pilate.

Understand as never before the horror of the decision to save a brutal terrorist in order to condemn the peaceful Jew to death.

If you’ve heard the story of Passion Week so often it’s become stale, now is the time to rediscover the terrible events leading from Jesus’s humble ride into the city to his crucifixion. The Soldier Who Killed a King will stun you afresh with how completely Christ’s resurrection changed history, one life at a time.
