My yoke is easy and my burden light

CI: First Reading Isaiah 40:25-31 The Lord strengthens the powerless

‘To whom could you liken me and who could be my equal?’ says the Holy One. Lift your eyes and look. 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. Young men may grow tired and weary, 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 tire.

Responsorial Psalm :  My soul, give thanks to the Lord.

Gospel Matthew 11 :28-30 My yoke is easy and my burden light

CDR: 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.’ 

Everlasting GOD, my Father in heaven, the Holy One I adore you. Father so mighty is your power, so great is your strength. All creatures are subjects to you. You rule for all eternity. Father I look up to you for my salvation, my destiny is not hidden from you. Father you know me even when I was conceived secretly in my mother’s womb. Father you created the boundaries of the earth. You do not grow tired or weary. Father your understanding is beyond fathoming. Father you give strength to the wearied, you strengthen the powerless. Father I place all my hope in you. My soul, give thanks to the Lord.

Jesus I trust in you. I  come to you Lord for I am over labored and overburdened. Lord sometimes I feel my destiny is hidden. I come to you my Master, give me rest. You are my teacher; I want to learn from you Lord Jesus for you are gentle and humble in heart. make my heart like yours. I want to find rest for my weary soul. Yes, Lord, your yoke is easy and your burden light. Teach me Lord.

Pray the Holy Rosary, Blessed Virgin Mary pray for me. Saint Joseph pray for me. Saint Lucy pray for me. God’s Angels and Saints pray for me. My Guardian Angel pray for me. Protect me.

The Lord is my light and my salvation - Psalm 27
