Gospel: Matthew 11:28-30
Jesus said: “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:
A single parent was suddenly rendered out of job because of the business
disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. He was therefore worried where he
would earn the money to feed his family. So, he prayed to the Lord for help to
find a new job. After only three days a neighbor who knows about his
predicament asked him if he would be willing to work as a family driver and he
immediately said yes!
Are we going through a difficult stage in our life right now caused of
the Covid-19 pandemic? Do we want to be refreshed? Jesus has an offer for us!
In the gospel Jesus tells us this: “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened,
and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)
Why does Jesus want us to go to Him? Because Jesus wants to help us carry
whatever that burdens us right now. He wants to ease our pains and sufferings;
Jesus wants to help us in carrying whatever that suffering might be.
Let us respond to this call of Jesus and we will never regret making that
decision. What would happen to us if we respond now? The sufferings that we
carry will become lighter this is for the reason that Jesus will help us carry
our suffering.
We will have hope and there will be many more positive things that will
happen to our life if you would respond to this offer of Jesus. Let us respond
now and see for ourselves the miracle that will unfold in our life. We
have everything to gain and nothing to lose if we would respond to this offer
of Jesus.
Would we respond to this offer of the Lord? - Marino J. Dasmarinas
