Daily Reading for Thursday, May 28th, 2026

Reading 1, First Peter 2:2-5, 9-12

² Like new-born babies all your longing should be for milk -- the unadulterated spiritual milk -- which will help you to grow up to salvation,

³ at any rate if you have tasted that the Lord is good .

⁴ He is the living stone, rejected by human beings but chosen by God and precious to him; set yourselves close to him

⁵ so that you, too, may be living stones making a spiritual house as a holy priesthood to offer the spiritual sacrifices made acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

⁹ But you are a chosen race, a kingdom of priests, a holy nation, a people to be a personal possession to sing the praises of God who called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.

¹⁰ Once you were a non-people and now you are the People of God; once you were outside his pity; now you have received pity.

¹¹ I urge you, my dear friends, as strangers and nomads, to keep yourselves free from the disordered natural inclinations that attack the soul.

¹² Always behave honourably among gentiles so that they can see for themselves what moral lives you lead, and when the day of reckoning comes, give thanks to God for the things which now make them denounce you as criminals.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 100:2, 3, 4, 5

² serve Yahweh with gladness, come into his presence with songs of joy!

³ Be sure that Yahweh is God, he made us, we belong to him, his people, the flock of his sheepfold.

⁴ Come within his gates giving thanks, to his courts singing praise, give thanks to him and bless his name!

⁵ For Yahweh is good, his faithful love is everlasting, his constancy from age to age.
