40:25-31
To whom can
you liken me as an equal? Says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on highand see
who has created these thingsand He leads out their army and numbers them, calling
them all by name.
By his great
might and the strength of his power not one of them is missing! Why, O Jacob,
do you say, and declare, O Israel, My way is hidden from the LORD, and my
right is disregarded by my God”?
Do you not
know or have you not heard?
The LORD is
the eternal God, creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint nor grow
weary, and his knowledge is beyond scrutiny. He gives strength to the fainting
for the weak he makes vigor abound.
Though young
men faint and grow weary, and youths stagger and fall, They that hope in the
LORD will renew their strength, they will soar as with eagles’ wings
They will run
and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint.
Responsorial
Psalm R. O bless
the Lord, my soul!
Bless the
LORD, O my soul and all my being, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my
soul, and forget not all his benefits.
R. O bless
the Lord, my soul! He pardons all your iniquities, he heals all your ills. He
redeems your life from destruction, he crowns you with kindness and compassion.
R. O bless
the Lord, my soul! Merciful and gracious is the LORD, slow to anger and
abounding in kindness.
Not according
to our sins does he deal with us, nor does he requite us according to our
crimes. R. O bless the Lord, my soul!
Gospel Mt
11:28-30
Jesus said to
the crowdsand 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.”
