Catholic Daily Readings and Reflection | Wednesday of the First Week of Lent | February 25, 2026 Nineveh was the enemy. The Assyrian capital, famous for brutality, for impaling captives and skinning prisoners alive. And God told Jonah to go preach to them. Jonah walked into that massive city and preached eight words: Forty days more and Nineveh shall be overthrown. No explanation. No call to repentance. No offer of mercy. And Nineveh believed. From the greatest to the least, they put on sackcloth. The king rose from his throne, stripped off his robes, and sat in ashes. The most wicked city on earth repented at eight words from a reluctant prophet. Jesus points to this story and says: The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it. Because they repented at the preaching of Jonah. And something greater than Jonah is here. What more evidence are you waiting for? 📖 Readings First Reading: Jonah 3:1-10 Responsorial: Psalm 51:3-4, 12-13, 18-19 Gospel: Luke 11: 29-32 ⏱️ Timeline 00:00 Introduction 00:15 Reading I - Jonah 3:1-10 01:45 Psalm Response - Psalm 51 08:36 Gospel - Luke 11: 29-32 09:25 Reflection - The City That Repented 🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?

Experience the presence of Jesus Christ in the Gospel and find peace in a special rendition of the Psalm created for today's liturgy from the USCCB. Catholic Daily Readings and Reflection | Tuesday of the First Week of Lent | February 24, 2026 You have been praying the Our Father your whole life. Maybe you learned it at your mother's knee, the words coming before you understood them. Maybe you have said it ten thousand times without once considering what you were actually asking for. Jesus gave us this prayer because the disciples asked him to teach them how to pray. And the first thing he told them was what not to do. Do not babble like the pagans. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him. If God already knows what we need, why pray at all? Because prayer is not about informing God. Prayer is about transforming us. The Our Father is not a list of requests. It is a reordering of our desires. And that middle petition is the trap. Forgive us as we forgive. Every time you pray it, you are asking God to treat you the way you treat the people who have wronged you. Isaiah provides the foundation. God's word goes out like rain from heaven. It does not return empty. It accomplishes what God purposes. The Our Father is not just words we say. It is God's word shaping us. 📖 Readings First Reading: Isaiah 55:10-11 Responsorial: Psalm 34:4-5, 6-7, 16-17, 18-19 Gospel: Matthew 6:7-15 ⏱️ Timeline 00:00 Introduction 00:15 Reading I - Isaiah 55:10-11 00:42 Psalm Response - Psalm 34 05:26 Gospel - Matthew 6:7-15 06:22 Reflection - Our Father Who Art in Heaven 🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?

Experience the presence of Jesus Christ in the Gospel and find peace in a special rendition of the Psalm created for today's liturgy from the USCCB. Catholic Daily Readings and Reflection | Monday of the First Week of Lent | February 23, 2026 You will stand before the throne. The King will separate sheep from goats. And both groups will be surprised. The goats had no idea they were failing the test. They walked past Jesus a thousand times disguised as the hungry, the stranger, the prisoner, and they never recognized him. But here is what should stop you cold: the sheep were equally surprised. They did not know they were serving Christ. They were not keeping score. They just saw need and responded. Leviticus puts flesh on these bones: be holy, for I am holy. And what does holiness look like? Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not defraud. Do not hold back wages. Do not slander. Do not hate. Love your neighbor as yourself. Every interaction with another human being is an interaction with God's image. Every act of cruelty is a desecration. Every act of mercy is worship. Who is the least in your life? The coworker everyone ignores. The family member who exhausts you. The stranger whose needs inconvenience you. That is where Christ is hiding. That is the test you do not know you are taking. 📖 Readings First Reading: Leviticus 19:1-2, 11-18 Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 19:8, 9, 10, 15 Gospel: Matthew 25:31-46 ⏱️ Timeline 00:00 Introduction 00:15 Reading I - Leviticus 19:1-2,11-18 01:33 Psalm Response - Psalm 19 05:05 Gospel - Matthew 25:31-46 07:04 Reflection - The Least of These 🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?

Experience the presence of Jesus Christ in the Gospel and find peace in a special rendition of the Psalm created for today's liturgy from the USCCB. Catholic Daily Readings and Reflection | First Sunday of Lent | February 22, 2026 Two men. Two tests. Everything hangs on what they do next. The first man stands in paradise. Every tree is beautiful. He walks with God. There is only one boundary in the entire world: do not eat from that tree. A serpent reframes God's generosity as restriction. He reaches for the fruit. Death crashes into a world that had never known it. The second man stands in wilderness. Forty days without food. Satan offers bread, spectacle, kingdoms. He refuses everything. And angels come to minister to the One who would not break. Paul puts it starkly: through one man sin entered, through sin death. But the free gift is not like the trespass. Grace does not simply reverse the damage. It overwhelms it. Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more. This Lent, we enter our own wilderness. Not to punish ourselves but to discover what Jesus proved: the Father is enough. 📖 Readings First Reading: Genesis 2:7-9; 3:1-7 Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 51:3-4, 5-6, 12-13, 17 Second Reading: Romans 5: 12-19 Gospel: Matthew 4:1-11 ⏱️ Timeline 00:00 Introduction 00:15 Reading I - Genesis 2:7-9;3:1-7 01:47 Psalm Response - Psalm 51 06:23 Reading II - Romans 5: 12-19 07:54 Gospel - Matthew 4:1-11 09:16 Reflection - The Two Adams 🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?

Experience the presence of Jesus Christ in the Gospel and find peace in a special rendition of the Psalm created for today's liturgy from the USCCB. Catholic Daily Readings and Reflection | Saturday after Ash Wednesday | February 21, 2026 There is a name waiting for you. Not the name your parents gave you, not the names the world has called you. This is the name God wants to speak over your life: Repairer of the Breach. Restorer of Streets to Dwell In. A breach is a gap in a wall, a break in a relationship, a rupture in what was meant to be whole. Breaches are everywhere once you start looking. The estranged family member. The shattered friendship. The community torn apart by blame. God looks at all this brokenness and does not send demolition crews. He sends repairers. Isaiah reveals what happens when we get fasting right: Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt. You shall raise up the foundations of many generations. Inner transformation leads to outer rebuilding. Repaired relationships create repaired communities. Then comes Levi. A tax collector, a traitor to his own people, excommunicated and despised. Jesus looks at him and says two words: Follow me. No lecture, no waiting period, no conditions. And Levi throws a banquet with all his sinner friends, scandalizing the religious establishment. Jesus is the true Repairer of the Breach. He walks into the wreckage. He eats with the people everyone else has written off. He calls traitors to become apostles. And now he calls you to do the same. 📖 Readings First Reading: Isaiah 58:9b-14 Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 86:1-2, 3-4, 5-6 Gospel: Luke 5: 27-32 ⏱️ Timeline 00:00 Introduction 00:15 Reading I - Isaiah 58:9b-14 01:30 Psalm Response - Psalm 86 05:22 Gospel - Luke 5: 27-32 06:08 Reflection - Repairer of the Breach 🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?

Experience the presence of Jesus Christ in the Gospel and find peace in a special rendition of the Psalm created for today's liturgy from the USCCB. Catholic Daily Readings and Reflection | Friday after Ash Wednesday | February 20, 2026 You have been fasting for two days now. You are doing the thing. You are showing up for Lent. And here comes Isaiah to ruin everything. The people in his day fasted too. They bowed their heads like a reed. They spread out sackcloth and ashes. And they were furious that God did not seem to notice. God's response is devastating. He does not answer their complaint. He exposes their hearts. On the very day you fast, you pursue your own interests. On the very day you humble yourself, you oppress your workers. Your fasting is a performance that changes nothing about how you actually live. Isaiah redefines fasting. The fast God chooses is not primarily about what you put in your mouth. It is about what comes out of your life. Loose the bonds of injustice. Share your bread with the hungry. Do not hide from your own flesh and blood. Then Jesus calls himself the bridegroom. Throughout the Old Testament, God was the faithful husband and Israel the unfaithful wife. Jesus is claiming to be the divine husband. The wedding has arrived. But the bridegroom will be taken away, and then we will fast. Christian fasting is homesickness for heaven. It is a bride longing for her groom. And that longing changes how we treat everyone around us. 📖 Readings First Reading: Isaiah 58:1-9a Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 51:3-4, 5-6ab, 18-19 Gospel: Matthew 9: 14-15 ⏱️ Timeline 00:00 Introduction 00:15 Reading I - Isaiah 58:1-9a 02:01 Psalm Response - Psalm 51 06:12 Gospel - Matthew 9: 14-15 06:37 Reflection - The Fast God Wants 🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?

Experience the presence of Jesus Christ in the Gospel and find peace in a special rendition of the Psalm created for today's liturgy from the USCCB. Catholic Daily Readings and Reflection | Thursday after Ash Wednesday | February 19, 2026 Every morning you wake up and make the same choice again. You probably do not notice it, but underneath all the automation of your routine, a direction is being set and a path is being walked. Moses strips away all the complexity: I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life. Two options. Two outcomes. And then this stunning phrase: For he is your life. God is not a means to an end. God himself is the destination, the prize, the point. The psalm gives us the image: a tree planted by streams of water versus chaff that the wind drives away. Rooted and fruitful, or weightless and blown in whatever direction the wind moves. Jesus sharpens it further: If anyone wishes to come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross DAILY. Not once at a retreat. Daily. And whoever tries to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for his sake will save it. What profit is there to gain the whole world yet lose yourself? 📖 Readings First Reading: Deuteronomy 30:15-20 Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 1:1-2, 3, 4 and 6 Gospel: Luke 9: 22-25 ⏱️ Timeline 00:00 Introduction 00:15 Reading I - Deuteronomy 30:15-20 01:27 Psalm Response - Psalm 1 05:51 Gospel - Luke 9: 22-25 06:32 Reflection - Choose Life 🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?

Experience the presence of Jesus Christ in the Gospel and find peace in a special rendition of the Psalm created for today's liturgy from the USCCB. Ash Wednesday | Catholic Daily Readings and Reflection | February 18, 2026 Today a stranger will draw a cross on your forehead with the ashes of dead palms and speak the most terrifying words you will hear all year: "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return." We spend most of our lives running from this truth. We build careers, accumulate possessions, and construct legacies because somewhere deep down we believe that if we matter enough to enough people, we can outrun the grave. We cannot. The ashes on our foreheads are made from the palms we waved at Jesus last year. Those palms are now burnt remnants. A year from now, so might we be. Joel calls us to rend our hearts, not our garments. Jesus warns against religious performance that plays to human audiences. Paul declares that NOW is the acceptable time, NOW is the day of salvation. And David shows us what real repentance looks like: a broken and contrite heart that God will not despise. Forty days begin today. Who are you when no one is watching? 📖 Readings First Reading: Joel 2: 12-18 Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 51:3-4, 5-6ab, 12-13, 14 and 17 Second Reading: 2 Corinthians 5: 20 - 6:2 Gospel: Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18 ⏱️ Timeline 00:00 Introduction 00:15 Reading I - Joel 2: 12-18 01:23 Psalm Response - Psalm 51 06:04 Reading II - 2 Corinthians 5: 20-6:2 06:42 Gospel - Matthew 6:1-6,16-18 08:10 Reflection - You Are Dust 🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?
