DR Squared: Optional Memorial Of Saint Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin

First Reading:  1 Corinthians 1:26-31
For see your vocation, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble:  But the foolish things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the wise; and the weak things of the world hath God chosen, that he may confound the strong. And the base things of the world, and the things that are contemptible, hath God chosen, and things that are not, that he might bring to nought things that are:  That no flesh should glory in his sight. But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and justice, and sanctification, and redemption:  That, as it is written: He that glorieth, may glory in the Lord.
Responsorial Psalm:  Psalm 131 (130):1bcde, 2, 3
R.  (There seems to be no corresponding verse.)

V.  Lord, my heart is not exalted:
     nor are my eyes lofty.
     Neither have I walked in great matters,
     nor in wonderful things above me.

V.  If I was not humbly minded,
     but exalted my soul:
     As a child that is weaned is towards his mother,
     so reward in my soul.

V.  Let Israel hope in the Lord,
     from henceforth now and for ever.
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.
