The 8th of June, 2021 is Tuesday in the Tenth Week of Ordinary Time. The Bible scriptures for the holy mass readings for this day came from the Year 2021 of Liturgical Calendar.
Reading 1: 2 COR 1:18-22
The first reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians.
But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us-by me, Silvanus, and Timothy-was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”
For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.
Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God, who also sealed us and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.

Gospel of the Day: MT 5:13-16
From the gospel verse according to Matthew.
“You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.
You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden.
Neither do you light a lamp and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.
Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.”
