Alleluia, alleluia!

Blessed are you, Father,

Lord of heaven and earth;

For revealing the mysteries of the kingdom to mere children.

Alleluia!

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew

Jesus exclaimed, “I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to mere children. Yes, Father, for that is what it pleased you to do. Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, just as no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him. Come to me all you who labour and are overburdened and I will give you rest. Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light.”                                                                 

This is the Gospel of the Lord.
