Dear Friend in the Lord,
Peace of Christ: In today’s Gospel, Jesus invites His disciples and every person, “Come to Me all you who labour and are overburdened. . .” Jesus’ Gospel as the Good News of Salvation is always inclusive and filled with hope for those who are suffering. Ponder on, “How have I experienced Jesus’ strength, light and peace?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Matthew 11:25-30
Jesus exclaimed, ‘I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to little children. Yes, Father, for that is what it pleased you to do. Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, just as no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
‘Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest. Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light.’
