2nd Week of Advent

1st Reading: Is 40:25-31
Gospel: Mt 11:28-30

Jesus said, "Come to me, all you who work hard and who carry heavy burdens and I will refresh you. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I am gentle and humble of heart; and you will find rest. For my yoke is good and my burden is light."

Commentary

In Jesus, we find a God who does not wait and remain passive while waiting to be discovered through endless search. In Jesus, it is God himself who takes the initiative of inviting us to be with Him, to be in His company. Jesus offers comfort and rest to each one of us who is weary, tired and bored. Let us open ourselves and allow God to embrace us in His loving tenderness and care.
