14th Sunday of Ordinary Time

Today's readings explore what it looks like when God's power shows up not in force or spectacle, but in gentleness and humility. The first reading paints a striking portrait of a king who arrives not on a warhorse but on a donkey, bringing peace rather than conquest. The Gospel then offers an invitation from Jesus himself—one that promises rest to anyone carrying a heavy load. Today's Readings: • First Reading: Zechariah 9:9-10 • Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 145:1-2, 8-9, 10-11, 13-14 • Second Reading: Romans 8:9, 11-13 • Gospel: Matthew 11:25-30
