On August 1, the liturgy commemorates Saint Alphonsus Liguori and includes readings from Jeremiah and the Gospel of Matthew regarding the fate of John the Baptist and Jesus walking on water. For August 18, the readings include Ezekiel 28:1-10, addressing the leader of Tyre regarding pride and wisdom, and Deuteronomy 32:26-36, alongside the Gospel of Matthew 19:23-30. The readings for August 19 feature Ezekiel 34:1-11, a prophecy against the shepherds of Israel, and Psalm 23.

The Responsorial Psalm is Psalm 96, proclaiming that the Lord comes to judge the earth with justice and equity. The Gospel reading from Matthew 23 features Jesus criticizing the scribes and Pharisees for neglecting judgment, mercy, and fidelity. Late August readings continue to emphasize spiritual vigilance and faithfulness. Gospel passages from the Book of Matthew utilize the parable of the faithful and prudent servant to illustrate the necessity of constant readiness for the return of the Son of Man. Other readings include the First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians, addressing humility and grace, and the liturgical calendar notes the memory of Saint Monica. On August 28, religious materials provide reflections on Christian ministry, citing the writings of Ellen G. White to discuss how those who have endured sorrow can comfort others. This includes an emphasis on integrity, flexibility, and self-control in leadership, using the Apostle Paul as an example. Additionally, the parable of the ten virgins is used to illustrate lessons on readiness. In early September 2026, religious studies expand to include Sabbath School lessons.
