Come to me, all you who labor...
July 17, 2025
Dear Family of Mary!
Today's 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."
Jesus' words to us are so very comforting and
consoling. Who among us has not felt the weight of our burden, and the
exhaustion of our labor. And isn't it true that we can sometimes be our
own terrible taskmaster, angrily forcing ourselves to overwork and lose
hope? Our enemy also unleashes his own cohort of taskmasters, who
drive us on with the lies they plant in our minds: You are lazy...You
are stupid...You will never succeed...
But Jesus calls us to drop all those yokes and to
take His yoke upon ourselves instead. He wants us to train our hearts to
hear His voice, and help us to renounce the enemy's evil lies. We can
let Jesus speak to our hearts, encouraging us to go forward, to not
fear, to trust in the Father, to grow in hope, to be small and little
under His loving care. In this way we will find rest for ourselves!
Jesus' yoke is easy and His burden light!
Our Lady also encouraged us to let Jesus lead us:

"Dear children,
in a motherly way I am calling you
to return to the joy and the truth of the Gospel,
to return to the love of my Son -
because He is waiting for you with open arms;
that everything you do in life you do with my Son, with love;
that it may be blessed for you;
so that your spirituality may be internal, and not just external.
Only in that way will you be humble, generous, filled with love and joyful;
and my motherly heart will rejoice with you.
Thank you."
The key is that... "everything you do in life, you do with my Son, with love!!"
If we do everything in, with, and for Jesus, we will
find rest for our souls. We will find peace for our hearts. And we
will find joy forever!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
