MY YOKE IS EASY AND MY BURDEN LIGHT
Father in heaven, Your Son Jesus Christ showed his love for you by serving his brothers and sisters in need. I now ask you to give me your help I serve you and your people Open my mouth to praise you in word and song. Open my ears to hear your word. Open my hand to do your work well. Take from me all evil and distracting thoughts.
Help me to know what I should do and do it well. Help me to serve reverently at your Holy Altar and give you praise and glory now and for ever. Amen.
The Lord strengthens the powerless
‘To whom could you liken me
and who could be my equal?’
says the Holy One.
Who made these stars
if not he who drills them like
an army,
calling each one by name?
So mighty is his power, so
great his strength,
that not one fails to answer.
How can you say, Jacob,
how can you insist, Israel,
‘My destiny is hidden from the
Lord,
my rights are ignored by my
God’?
Did you not know?
Had you not heard?
The Lord is an everlasting
God,
he created the boundaries of
the earth.
He does not grow tired or
weary,
his understanding is beyond
fathoming.
He gives strength to the
wearied,
he strengthens the powerless.
youths may stumble,
but those who hope in the Lord
renew their strength,
they put out wings like
eagles.
They run and do not grow
weary,
walk and never tireMy Soul give thanks to the Lord
Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest. Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light.’
