G O S P E L Today
Jesus invites us, His disciples, to come to Him because He wants to give us His comfort, peace and rest. How much of our lives are under the control of compulsions that drive us relentlessly? The Gospel’s call today is for us to come and allow Jesus to order our lives so that we will dwell in Him and in His peace.

Matthew 11:25-30
25 At that time Jesus exclaimed, “I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike. 26 Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. 27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him. 28 Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”
