“Come to me,
all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens,
and I will give you rest.

and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy,

Our Lord calls everyone to come to Him.
We all find things difficult in one way or another
and the history of souls bears out the truth of these words of Jesus.
.
Only the Gospel can fully satisfy
the thirst for truth and justice which sincere people feel.
Only Jesus, our Lord and Master,
can truly soothe, reassure and encourage the troubled soul.

Any other burden weighs down,
