Official Translation
Reading 1 – Deuteronomy 7.6-11
Moses said to the people:
“For you are a holy people to the Lord your God,
the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession,
above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.
The Lord did not set his love on you, nor choose you,
because you were more in number than any people,
for you were the fewest of all peoples,
but because the Lord loves you,
and because he would keep the oath which he swore to your fathers.
The Lord brought you out with a mighty hand,
and redeemed you out of the house of bondage,
from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God,
who keeps covenant and loving kindness with them who love him
and keep his commandments to a thousand generations,
and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them.
He will not be slack to him who hates him; he will repay him to his face.
You shall therefore keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances,
which I command you this day, to do them."
Responsorial – Psalm 103.1-2, 3-4, 6-7, 8, 10 Resp. 17
R. The Lord’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him.
Praise The Lord, my soul!
All that is within me, praise his holy name!
Praise The Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits.
R. The Lord’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him.
He forgives all your sins;
he heals all your diseases;
he redeems your life from destruction;
he crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies.
R. The Lord’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him.
The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in kindness.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
nor repaid us according to our guilt.
R. The Lord’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him.
Reading 2 - 1 John 4.7-16
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God;
and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
The one who does not love, does not know God, for God is love.
By this God’s love was revealed in us,
that God has sent his one and only Son into the world
that we might live through him.
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us,
and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Beloved, if God thus loved us, we also ought to love one another.
No one has ever seen God.
If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love is perfected in us.
By this we know that we remain in him and he in us:
because he has given us of his Spirit.
We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world.
Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.
We know and have believed in the love which God has for us.
God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God, and God remains in them.
Gospel – Matthew 11.25-30
At that time, Jesus answered,
“I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants.
Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
All things have been delivered to me by my Father.
No one knows the Son, except the Father;
nor does anyone know the Father, except the Son and anyone to whom the Son desires 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 gentle and humble of heart,
and you will find rest for your souls, for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
