14th Sunday Ordinary time
Year A  

Gospel Matthew 11:25-30
The Lord calls us to come to him, that we may find rest for our souls.

A REFLECTION

We are here because the Lord himself has called us. “Come to me,” he says, and we have come to him, full of thanksgiving, to celebrate the Eucharist, to worship him and receive his help.

Entrance Antiphon

Your merciful love, O God, we have received in the midst of your temple. Your praise, O God, like your name, reaches the ends of the earth; your right hand is filled with saving justice.

Today’s Readings:                            

First Reading Zechariah 9:9-10

The Messiah’s coming makes our hearts and souls rejoice, for he humbles himself to share our life.

Second Reading Romans 8:9. 11-13

We are spiritual people who belong to Christ and are filled with his Spirit.

Gospel Acclamation:

Alleluia, alleluia! Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the kingdom. Alleluia.
