Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Today the Church celebrates the Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time.The assigned readings are Zechariah 9:9-10; Romans 8:9, 11-13; and Matthew 11:25-30. The Responsorial Psalm is Psalm 145 (Psalm 145:1-2, 8-11, 13-14).

The Gospel reading is as follows:

At that time Jesus exclaimed: “I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to little ones. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.

“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”
