Daily Mass Readings for June 30, 2026: Gospel — Mt 8,23-27

¹ Listen, you Israelites, to this message that the Lord is proclaiming against you! This message is for the entire clan I brought up from the land of Egypt: ² “I have chosen you alone from all the clans of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all your sins.” ³ Do two walk together without having met? ⁴ Does a lion roar in the woods if he has not cornered his prey? Does a young lion bellow from his den if he has not caught something? ⁵ Does a bird swoop down into a trap on the ground if there is no bait? Does a trap spring up from the ground unless it has surely caught something? ⁶ If an alarm sounds in a city, do people not fear? If disaster overtakes a city, is the Lord not responsible? ⁷ Certainly the Sovereign Lord does nothing without first revealing his plan to his servants the prophets. ⁸ A lion has roared! Who is not afraid? The Sovereign Lord has spoken. Who can refuse to prophesy? 4 :1 ¹ “I overthrew some of you the way God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. You were like a burning stick snatched from the flames. Still you did not come back to me.” The Lord is speaking. 1 ² “Therefore this is what I will do to you, Israel. Because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, Israel!”
