Psalm 145(144): 1-2; 8-9; 10-11; 13cd-14. R. cf. 1

Psalm 145 praises the Lord for his kindness, compassion and faithfulness, proclaiming that he ‘supports all who fall and raises up all who are bowed down’. These themes echo today’s readings, which reveal a humble and gentle King who brings peace, and prepare us for Jesus’ invitation in the Gospel to find rest in him, whose way is light and whose heart is meek.
