Gospel: Matthew 11:28-30
Jesus said to the crowds: “Come to me, all you who labor and are
burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,
for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For
my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”

Reflection:
Are you sometimes feeling weary and burdened by the problems that you
carry? You‘re not alone for many of us are sometimes burdened by worldly
problems. However these burdens the we carry are miraculously made light the
moment we learn to submit it to Jesus and when we invite Jesus to help us carry
it.
Why do you endure to carry the burden of someone you love or to suffer
for someone you love? This is for the reason that you are already yoked or made
one with this person that you love. For example, in married life if your spouse
is sick you would sacrifice to take care of your spouse until he/she gets well.
Or you may even wish that you’re the one that is sick and not your spouse.
Why is this so? This is for the reason that Jesus bonded the two of you
to become one through the Sacrament of Matrimony. Remember the words of
your marriage vows that says: “I promise to be true to you in good times and in
bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honor you all the days of
my life." If marriage made you one with your spouse, through your Baptism
you became one with Jesus or you are already yoked with Jesus.
Let us therefore always respond to this invitation of Jesus; we who are
often times burdened by the difficulties of life for we will always find
healing and strength in HIM.
Are you burdened by your problems right now? Bring it to Jesus for He
will take care of it. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
