In the Gospel of St. Matthew Jesus offers us this beautiful invitation: “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.”
“Rest” for Matthew means the achievement of joy, not the fleeting joy of materialism but the profound joy of allowing one’s life to be totally guided by God.
When we are yoked to Jesus, we are yoked to His humble obedience. We are no longer alone. His Yoke requires self-denial yet His Yoke is easy, burden light, because we share it with Him.
The yoke shown above is an invitation to walk with Jesus each day.
May God Be Praised.
