In this week's Gospel reading, our Lord invites us to come to Him, all of us who labor and are heavy burdened, and He will give us rest. Who does that not describe? Jesus is inviting us all to come to Him because all of us are laboring and carrying heavy burdens. He will give us His yoke. It is still a yoke which we must carry, but it is light and easy to carry.
