of heart; and you will find rest. For my yoke is good and my burden is light.”
Reflection:
Heavy burdens will come to us unbidden. But we need not fear for we
have Jesus to lighten it up for us. All we need to do is come to Him and share our burden
with Him. The problem is, not all go to the Lord to unburden themselves. They
look for substitutes that prove inadequate later on. And so, this basic difficulty
of approaching the Lord is what hinders us to unload. We sometimes think that we
disturb the Lord too much. That we have overstayed our welcome and it’s time to
look somewhere else to find relief. But if we look at the gospel today, it is not us who
go to the Lord uninvited. He first of all invited us to Him. He promises refreshment
for our labors. He wants to share His yoke which is easier and lighter than
our own. And so, there is nothing to be ashamed of when we go to Him. We have
been previously invited. His door will always be open to us.
