\nFirst Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n

Exodus 20:8-11 The New Century Version (NCV)<\/p>\n

8\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cRemember to keep the Sabbath holy.\u00a09\u00a0<\/sup>Work and get everything done during six days each week,\u00a010\u00a0<\/sup>but the seventh day is a day of rest to honor the\u00a0Lord\u00a0your God. On that day no one may do any work: not you, your son or daughter, your male or female slaves, your animals, or the foreigners living in your cities.\u00a011\u00a0<\/sup>The reason is that in six days theLord\u00a0made everything\u2014the sky, the earth, the sea, and everything in them. On the seventh day he rested. So the\u00a0Lord\u00a0blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.<\/p>\n

Second Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n

Philippians 4:11-13\u00a0 The Contemporary English Version (CEV)<\/p>\n

11\u00a0<\/sup>I am not complaining about having too little. I have learned to be satisfied with\u00a0whatever I have.\u00a012\u00a0<\/sup>I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little.\u00a013\u00a0<\/sup>Christ gives me the strength to face anything.<\/p>\n

Psalm
\n<\/strong>
\nPsalm is 23:1 \u00a0(New Century Version)<\/p>\n

23\u00a0The Lord is my shepherd;
\nI have everything I need.<\/p>\n

Gospel<\/strong>
\nMatthew 11:28-30 \u00a0(New Century Version)<\/p>\n

28\u00a0\u201cCome to me, all of you who are tired and have heavy loads, and I will give you rest.\u00a029\u00a0Accept my teachings and learn from me, because I am\u00a0gentle and humble in spirit, and you will find rest for your lives.\u00a030\u00a0The burden that I ask you to accept is easy; the load I give you to carry is light.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
