14th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Today we celebrate the 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Today we are invited by Christ to come to Him and rest in Him, to make some kind of vacation with Him. How we will accept this invitation from Christ and make our load lighter? He wants to be with us as a helper and takes our burdens on his cross.

What kind of burdens do you need help shouldering today? Your sickness, your loneliness or maybe too many obligations for your small head? How will you share these burdens with Christ?

These questions are very important for us, because they are present in our daily lives. The consciousness of these things is for better understanding of our private faith.

The Eucharist, which we now celebrate, gives us the simple answer – Come to me all who are burdened and rest in me with your busy things to do. Come for Holy Mass and rest in Jesus Christ your Lord and Master.

One Main Point

Acceptance of Jesus’ message depends upon the Father’s revelation, but this is granted to those who are open to receive, and refused to the arrogant.

Reflections

  1. Do I always act solely based on my knowledge, or do I let my heart direct me in a meek and humble way? What type of person am I?
  2. What makes the relationship between the Father and the Son Jesus so close? How close is my relationship with God? How can I improve this relationship?
  3. Jesus’ law and teaching is easy and light “my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” What are the heavy burdens I am carrying? My job, my study, my family, my finance, my ambition…? Are they necessary? How can I make them lighter? How can He make them lighter?
