TODAY’S WORD…

.

Jesus exclaimed,

“Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens,

and I will give you rest.

.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me;

for I am gentle and humble in heart,

and you will find rest for your souls.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

.

– Matthew 11:28-30 (NRSV)

.

REFLECTION…

.

We all find things difficult in one way or another,

and our Lord calls everyone to come to Him.

.

The history of souls bears out the truth of Jesus’ words

– only the Gospel can fully satisfy

the thirst for truth and justice which sincere people feel.

.

Only our Lord, our Master

– and those to whom He passes on His power –

can soothe the sinner by telling him, “Your sins are forgiven”. (Mat 9:2)

but Christ’s actually takes weight off you.

Any other burden weighs down,

but Christ’s gives you wings.”

giving us energy and life”
