Dear
Friends,
Today
the readings of the liturgy draw back a bit from the energetic and
shadowed aspects of discipleship and offer us some respite. We read of
the king described by Zechariah, who, like Jesus on Palm Sunday, rode on a
humble donkey but whose dominion is from sea to sea. No mention is made
of any suffering to come. In the Gospel, Jesus invites us to come to him,
take us his yoke and learn from him. In previous weeks, we were reminded
of his cross and suffering. Today, we hear that his yoke is easy, his
burden light and we are to find rest. Most reassuring of all are the
words of Psalm 145: “The Lord is faithful in all his words and holy in all
his works. The Lord lifts us all who are falling and raises up all who
are bowed down.
