Lectio:  Mt 11.28-30                            

Meditatio: “ Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.”
Mt 11.29                                                                      

Oratio: O God, Your Son knew how heavy life is for us at times and He generously offered to us His yoke for He knew His yoke is well fitting and would not cause painful rubbing and our burdens would be made lighter for He would be sharing them with us. Pray to willingly take  on the yoke of Christ and allow Him to use us to help the burdens of others for that is His wish.

Contemplatio: Spend some time with today's text and see how the Lord is speaking to you.

Operatio: reflect: “my yoke....learn...I...meek... humble”; Jesus so much wanted to lift the burdens of life from us so we would not be crushed by them; and He wanted us to learn from Him - the great Law of Love - for He knew this would in turn make the burdens of others much lighter. Seek the grace to be a willing instrument of the Lord so as to spread His love.
