Zechariah 9: 9-10
Psalm 145: 1-2, 8-11, 13-14
Romans 8: 9, 11-13
Matthew 11: 25-30
Biblical scholar John J. Pilch writes that a yoke is "a word used metaphorically to describe those things that control the lives of people." In that light, this Sunday's Scriptures might cause us to reflect on what controls our lives, either by choice or by circumstance. What are your highest priorities, honestly? Living comfortably, being admired, being in charge, settling scores? In what ways do these choices actually control you?
Jesus invites us to follow his example, to put on his yoke and let him guide our lives. A well-fitting yoke does not chafe, but actually makes the job easier. If we have the grace to trust Jesus and accept his way of living, we just might come to a deeper understanding of the Mystery of a God who loves us without limit. It just might change our lives!
Mystagogia will be at 10:45am this Sunday.
Inquiry will meet at 7:00pm this Tuesday.
