Second Reading : Rom 8, 9. 11-13
8:9 Your interests, however, are not in the unspiritual, but in the spiritual, since the Spirit of God has made his home in you. In fact, unless you possessed the Spirit of Christ you would not belong to him.
8:11 and if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, then he who raised Jesus from the dead will give life to your own mortal bodies through his Spirit living in you.
8:12 So then, my brothers, there is no necessity for us to obey our unspiritual selves or to live unspiritual lives.
8:13 If you do live in that way, you are doomed to die; but if by the Spirit you put an end to the misdeeds of the body you will live.
Gospel : Mt 11, 25-30
The Good News revealed to the simple. The Father and the Son
11:25 At that time Jesus exclaimed, ‘I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to mere children.
11:26 Yes, Father, for that is what it pleased you to do.
11:27 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.
The gentle mastery of Christ
11:28 ‘Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest.
11:29 Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.[*f]
11:30 Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light.’
