DDR Squared: Memorial Of Saint Francis Of Assisi, Religious

First Reading:  Galatians 6:14-18
But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ; by whom the world is crucified to me, and I to the world. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And whosoever shall follow this rule, peace on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. From henceforth let no man be troublesome to me; for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus in my body. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.
Responsorial Psalm:  Psalm 16 (15):5a; V. 1b-2a and 5, 7-8, 11
R.  The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup:

V.  Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put my trust in thee.
     I have said to the Lord, thou art my God,
     The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup:
     it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.

V.  I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding:
     moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.
     I set the Lord always in my sight:
     for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.

V.  Thou hast made known to me the ways of life,
     thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance:
     at thy right hand are delights even to the end.
Gospel Reading:  Matthew 11:25-30
At that time Jesus answered and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to the little ones. Yea, Father; for so hath it seemed good in thy sight. All things are delivered to me by my Father. And no one knoweth the Son, but the Father: neither doth any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom it shall please the Son to reveal him. Come to me, all you that labour, and are burdened, and I will refresh you. Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: and you shall find rest to your souls. For my yoke is sweet and my burden light.
