Meek and humble of heart

“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.” (MT 11: 28-30)

We know perfectly all kinds of labors and burdens; we know how it is to be tired or even exhausted. Our Lord also knows us and the reality of our lives and tells us: “come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” We can learn from Him; we can imitate Him, and we can “find rest for ourselves.”

“Take my yoke upon you, says the Lord; and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.” (Gospel Acclamation)
