Collect
℣. The Lord be with you.
℟. And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
God, Who added blessed Matthias to the company of Your Apostles, grant, we beseech You, that by his intercession we may ever be aware of the depth of Your love for us.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.

℟. Amen. 

From the holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 11:25-30
At that time, Jesus answered and said: I confess to thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to the little ones. And so on.

Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo.
10th Sermon on the Words of the Lord
Come unto Me, all ye that labour! And wherefore labour we all, but because we are frail, sickly, dying creatures, burdened with earthen vessels which distress us? But if these fleshly vessels be distressful, let the open expanse of love be free and wide. Come unto Me, all ye that labour! and why? That we may labour no more. His promise is an instant promise, for He calleth such as are labouring. Perchance they will ask Him what shall be their reward? And I, saith He, will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of me not how to make the world, not how to create all things visible and invisible, not to work wonders in the earth, nor to raise the dead but for I am meek and lowly in heart.

Post Communion
P. The Lord be with you.
S. And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
Grant, almighty God, we pray You, that through the intercession of blessed Matthias, Your Apostle, we may obtain pardon and peace through the holy things of which we have partaken.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
R. Amen.
