Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (A)
Gospel text
Mt 11:25-30
Mt 11:25-30
"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."
Gospel's Commentary
Today Jesus surprises us: He promises us rest if we “take up” His “yoke,” that is, the demands of His way. But no one wants to hear about yokes or obligations… So then? “My yoke is easy, and my burden light.” He is absolutely right!
—He was the first to carry the Cross (saving us quite a bit of weight). He helps us carry this “weight.” In any case: is it possible to love without effort? The worldly wise and the arrogant do not understand this!
