COMMUNION HYMN

Sweet Heart of Jesus! Fount of love and mercy, Today we come thy blessings to implore; Oh touch our hearts so cold and so ungrateful, And make them Lord, thine own for evermore.

Sweet Heart of Jesus! We implore, Oh, make us love thee, more and more.

Sweet Heart of Jesus! Make us know and love thee. Unfold to us the treasures of thy grace. That so our hearts, from things of earth uplifted, May long alone to gaze upon thy face.

Sweet Heart of Jesus! Make us pure and gentle And teach us how to do thy blessed will; To follow close the print of thy dear footsteps, And when we fall, sweet heart oh, love us still.

Sweet Heart of Jesus! Bless all hearts that love thee, And make thine own heart ever blessed be.

Bless us dear Lord, and bless the friends we cherish, And keep us true to Mary and to thee.

After the Dismissal

PRAYER OF ST MICHAEL

Holy Michael, Archangel, defend us in the day of battle. Be thou our defence against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.

May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust down to hell Satan, and all wicked spirits, who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

THE ANGELUS

The angel of the Lord brought tidings to Mary And she conceived by the Holy Ghost. Hail Mary...

Behold the handmaid of the Lord. be it unto me according to thy word. Hail Mary...

The Word was made flesh. And dwelt amongst us. Hail Mary...

Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray.

We beseech thee O Lord, pour thy grace into our hearts: that, as we have known the Incarnation of thy Son Jesus Christ by the message of an Angel, so by his Cross and Passion we may be brought to the glory of his resurrection, through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Matthew 11:25-30

In the Gospel today the Lord Jesus repeats to us the words that we know so well but that never fail to move us: “Come to me, all who labour and are heavily laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Mt 11:28-30).

As Jesus went along the roads of Galilee proclaiming the Kingdom of God and healing many sick people, “he had compassion on the crowds, for they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd” (cf. Mt 9:35-36).

Jesus’ gaze seems to extend to this day, to our world. Today, too, it rests on so many people oppressed by difficult living conditions and lacking valid reference points to find a meaning and a purpose for their existence. Exhausted multitudes are found in the poorest countries, harshly tried by poverty; and even in the richer countries there are numerous dissatisfied men and women who are even ill with depression. Let us think of the many evacuees and refugees, of all those who emigrate, putting their own lives at risk. Christ's gaze then rests his gaze upon all these people, indeed upon each one of these children of the Father who is in Heaven and repeats: “Come to me, all...” of you.

Jesus promised he would give everyone “rest”, but on one condition: “Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart”. What is this “yoke” which lightens instead of burdening, which instead of oppressing, uplifts? The “yoke” of Christ is the law of love, it is his commandment which he bequeathed to his disciples (cf. Jn 13:34; 15:12). The true remedy for humanity's wounds, both material — such as hunger and injustice in all its forms — and psychological and moral, caused by a false well-being, is a rule of life based on fraternal love, whose source is in the love of God. For this reason it is necessary to abandon the way of arrogance, of violence used to obtain ever more powerful positions, to assure oneself of success at any price.

It is also necessary to give up the aggressive attitude with regard to

the environment which has prevailed in recent centuries and to adopt a reasonable “gentleness”. However, in human, interpersonal and social relations above all, the rule of respect and of nonviolence, namely, the power of the truth against every kind of abuse is what can assure a future worthy of the human being. Dear friends, yesterday we celebrated a particular liturgical Memorial of Mary Most Holy, praising God for her Immaculate Heart. May the Virgin help us to “learn” true humility from Jesus, to take up his light yoke with determination, to experience inner peace and to become in our turn capable of comforting other brothers and sisters who are walking with difficulty on life's path.
