14th Sunday of Ordinary
Time – Year A
5:00 pm Novena to Our Lady
5:30 pm Sunset Mass in English
First Reading
Zechariah 9:9-10
9 Rejoice heart and soul,
daughter of Zion! Shout for joy, daughter of Jerusalem! Look, your king is
approaching, he is vindicated and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on
a colt, the foal of a donkey.
10 He will banish chariots
from Ephraim and horses from Jerusalem; the bow of war will be banished. He
will proclaim peace to the nations, his empire will stretch from sea to sea,
from the River to the limits of the earth.

Word of the Lord”
PSALMS 145:1-2, 8-9,
10-11, 13-14
1 [Hymn of Praise Of
David] I shall praise you to the heights, God my King, I shall bless your name
for ever and ever.
2 Day after day I shall
bless you, I shall praise your name for ever and ever.
8 Yahweh is tenderness
and pity, slow to anger, full of faithful love.
9 Yahweh is generous to
all, his tenderness embraces all his creatures.
10 All your creatures
shall thank you, Yahweh, and your faithful shall bless you.
11 They shall speak of the
glory of your kingship and tell of your might,
13 Your kingship is a
kingship for ever, your reign lasts from age to age. Yahweh is trustworthy in
all his words, and upright in all his deeds.
14 Yahweh supports all who
stumble, lifts up those who are bowed down.
Second Reading
Romans 8:9, 11-13
9 You, however, live not
by your natural inclinations, but by the Spirit, since the Spirit of God has
made a home in you. Indeed, anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does
not belong to him.
11 and if the Spirit of
him who raised Jesus from the dead has made his home in you, then he who raised
Christ Jesus from the dead will give life to your own mortal bodies through his
Spirit living in you.
12 So then, my brothers,
we have no obligation to human nature to be dominated by it.
13 If you do live in that
way, you are doomed to die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the habits
originating in the body, you will have life.

Word of the Lord”
Gospel Reading
Matthew 11:25-30
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 little children.
26 Yes, Father, for that
is what it pleased you to do.
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.
28 'Come to me, all you
who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Shoulder my yoke and
learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for
your souls.
30 Yes, my yoke is easy
and my burden light.'

Gospel of the Lord”
