Scripture Reading
Matthew 11:28-30
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
Reflection
Jesus does not ask us to fix ourselves before approaching Him; He invites us precisely in our weariness. The yoke He offers is not freedom from work but a shared burden — His strength joining ours so that what seemed crushing becomes bearable. The gentleness of Christ is one of the most underestimated truths of the Gospel. Come to Him today, just as you are, and find rest.
Prayer for Today
We thank You Lord for the passing of our brother/sister. We exalt Your name for the good life he/she lived. We pray oh Lord, that everlasting life be given unto him or her. And as he or she abides in Your garden, let Your angels touch what he/she cannot touch again. Father, be with his/her soul and may he/she rest in perfect eternal peace. Amen
Amen.
