Weekly Message from Fr. Rick:
14th Sunday in Ordinary Time
“For my yoke is easy and my burden light.”
How curious .... Our Lord speaks of an easy yoke and a light burden, but He is speaking here of His own yoke and His own burden. He knows our own burdens and yokes, how they press on us and in His tender mercy He invites us to lay our burdens and our yokes down on His shoulders. Moreover He promises us, so often harried and anxious about so many things that worry us, to us He promises rest.
How good is the Lord! He feeds us with His very own body and blood, He consoles and comforts all who mourn, He heals and binds up our wounds and illnesses. Above all else He shows us by example the God who is love!
