Today's Catholic Mass Readings and Gospel Reflection – Monday 16 February 2026

Today's Catholic Mass Readings and Gospel Reflection – Monday 16 February 2026 First Reading: James 1: 1-11 Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 118(119):67-68,71-72,75-76 R\. “Let your love come to me and I shall live.” Gospel Reading: Mark 8: 11-13 Monday of week 6 in Ordinary Time — Year A "Why God Allows Trials: Finding Patience, Wisdom, and the True Sign of Faith" In this Catholic daily reflection for Monday, February 16th, 2026, we explore the powerful teachings of Saint James (chapter 1) on why we should treat trials as a "happy privilege." Why does God put our faith to the test? We dive into the necessity of asking for wisdom without doubt and the fleeting nature of worldly riches compared to the eternal Word of God. We also reflect on the Gospel of Mark (chapter 8), where the Pharisees demand a "sign" and Jesus responds with a sigh from the heart. Learn how to soften your heart, listen to the voice of the Lord, and find the patience that makes you "fully-developed and complete" in Christ (Psalm 119). Join the "Hope in Christ Moments" community for daily prayer and encouragement. #CatholicReflection #FaithTrials #WisdomOfGod
