For My Yoke Is Easy, My Burden Is Light

“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew  11: 28-30

One of the loveliest and most meaningful texts is contained in today’s Gospel. Sometimes, it is hard to comprehend what’s God’s plan for us  but always, in the end, we get to see that He was there all along guiding us along the way, encouraging us when the going gets rough and whispering to our ears that we really could do it, no matter what obstacles there may be.  There are times when we feel that the load is too heavy to take and we also sometimes forget that if we just pray and unburden ourselves to Him, He will do the rest and He knows what is best for us.
