S. FAUSTI -Jesus, the Son, is for us new wisdom and rest. His mildness and humility is the new law: the law of freedom of the Son, equal to the Father. The Church in Him is free from the heavy burden of prescriptions and is under the yoke of love, the only one who does not oppress. "I bless you, Father! ": After mourning for those who don't accept the Word, there is dance for those who welcome it. This blessing is a pinnacle of the Gospel, the Son rejoices in the same joy of the Father because His brothers partecipate in their mystery. The knowledge that is between Father and Son, the mutual love that is their life, is also given to the "infants". What God is by nature, we are by grace. The Spirit buzzes in our hearts and blossoms on our lips the same Word for which the Word is the Word: "Abba". We enter the Trinity, participating in the ineffable dialogue between Father and Son. Creation reaches its end, that is its principle. At the sound of the flute of Jesus, Son of God and man, we dance the marriage between God and man. To welcome Him is salvation: in His flesh, every flesh joined glory. The wise and shrewd persons seek a wise and powerful God. What is revealed to infants is hidden from others. The same identical reality is concealment and revelation, according to the different condition. When we get rid of earthly life, we will come to light of Father's Face and we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is (1Gv 3,2). But now, reflecting on the glory of the Lord, we are transformed into that same image, according to the action of the Spirit of the Lord (2Cor3, 18). "Come to Me all of You": Jesus, offering us to enter with Him in the love of the Father, invites us to the banquet of Wisdom (Sir 51: 23-27). True food is to know God as Father and themselves as children. It is the gift of the Spirit that makes enjoy filial and fraternal life. This is the new law, the yoke of Freedom of the Son. Even the law given for Moses is for life; but it does not give life. It is only a heavy burden that orders, denounces, judges and condemns what is against it. Love, on the other hand, is the full fulfillment of the Law (Mt 7:12): it gives that "superior justice" that it introduces in the Kingdom
Thus says the LORD: Rejoice heartily, O daughter Zion, shout for joy, O daughter Jerusalem! See, your king shall come to you; a just savior is he, meek, and riding on an ass, on a colt, the foal of an ass. He shall banish the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; the warrior's bow shall be banished, and he shall proclaim peace to the nations. His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth. Responsorial Psalm PS 145:1-2, 8-9, 10-11, 13-14

Brothers and sisters: You are not in the flesh; on the contrary, you are in the spirit, if only the Spirit of God dwells in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you. Consequently, brothers and sisters, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. Alleluia CF. MT 11:25
R. Alleluia, alleluia. Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth; you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the kingdom. R. Alleluia, alleluia. Gospel MT 11:25-30
At that time Jesus exclaimed: "I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to little ones. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him."
"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light."
