Epistle: Ephesians iii. 8-9, 14-19
Lesson from the Epistle of blessed Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians. Brethren: To me the least of all the saints is given the grace to preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to enlighten all men that they may see what is the dispensation of the mystery which hath been hidden from eternity in God, who created all things. For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom all paternity in heaven and earth is named, that he would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened by His Spirit with might unto the inward man, that Christ may dwell by faith in your hearts; that being rooted and founded in charity, you may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth, and length, and height, and depth: to know also the charity of Christ which surpasseth all knowledge, that you may be filled unto all the fullness of God.
Gradual: Canticle of Canticles viii. 7; Psalms lxxii. 26
Many waters cannot quench charity, neither can the floods drown it. ℣. My flesh and my heart have fainted away: thou art the God of my heart, and the God that is my portion for ever.
Alleluia: Canticle of Canticles vii. 10
Alleluia, alleluia. ℣. I to my beloved, and his turning is towards me. Alleluia.
Gospel: Matthew xi. 25-30
+ Continuation of the Gospel of St. Matthew. At that time, Jesus answered, and said: I praise Thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to little ones. Yea, Father; for so it hath seemed good in Thy sight. All things are delivered to Me by My Father; and on one knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither doth anyone know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom it shall please the Son to reveal Him. Come to Me, all you that labor, 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.
Offertory: Zacharias ix. 17
For what is the good thing of him, and what is his beautiful thing, but the corn of the elect and the wine springing forth virgins?
Secret
May the offering of Thy people be received by Thee, O Lord;and grant that our hearts may burn with that same divine fire which went forth from the Heart of Thy Son and kindled blessed Margaret Mary with its flames. Through the same our Lord.

By the intercession of the blessed virgin Margaret Mary, grant, we beseech Thee, O Lord Jesus, that we who have received the mysteries of Thy Body and Blood may put off the pride and vanity of the world and be found worthy to put on the meekness and humility of Thy Heart: Who livest.
