First Reading: (Zechariah 9:9-10) The fulfillment of the age-old messianic prophecies in the person of Christ, is one of the proofs that Christ was the Messiah---the anointed king, priest and prophet---whom God had promised to send to the Chosen People. Second Reading: (Romans 8:9; 11-13) By baptism we were made adopted sons of God, because Christ, in becoming God-Incarnate, made us his brothers. We, therefore, share in the divine life and receive the spirit of God. Gospel: (Matt. 11:25-30) To be a Christian and to have the light of faith to guide our steps in this neo-pagan darkness, is surely a gift, and a blessing from God, for which we can never thank him enough. Thank you, God, for this gift. Read more at: http://www.catholicmatters.com/sunday.htm

Wedding Gifts
As a newlywed pair opened their wedding gifts, they admired them with enthusiasm.
The groom said, "We can really use these towels!"
The bride said, "We'll love dining off these dishes!"
Then they unwrapped a vacuum cleaner and bride teased, "Look what YOU got, honey!"
Thank you for the unity, generosity, support and hard work of every member of our parish.
