Come to Me

,

The last section of this gospel is truly lovely. “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” Ahhh. Sweet, right? What are you carrying today? What’s weighing on you? Weighing you down? Holding you back? This human life can be SO hard. It’s exhausting at times. Our lives are complicated, they are tough, confusing, stressful, overwhelming. Jesus, the divine human invites us to bring our worries, anxieties, ALL of our burdens TO HIM.

Rest!

, ,

In today’s story Martha is distracted, just like us, she has too many things to do, too much on her plate. She is worried and her mind is spinning from one thing to the next. And then Jesus comes along and says: There is need of only one thing.

How very Zen of Jesus! One thing? Really? Just one thing? Well, alright, go ahead and tell me what it is then!

Saying how are you holding up seems to acknowledge that I know this is difficult, I know this is stressful. But, within that context, how are you holding up under the weight of the burdens of this time?
