Fifteenth Week in Ordinary Time

Matthew 11:28-30
*Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus *is not offering us one more philosophy
of God. He





* is offering us the view from the inside of the Trinity. And that is why
we should respond to his compelling invitation: “Come to me, all you who
labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” What everyone wants is
rest, but not in the sense of relaxation. Rest here means achievement of
joy. The great illusion is that joy will come from filling up the ego with
goods. In fact, it will come from emptying out, from turning one’s life
over to the direction of God. We also find in today’s Gospel those
extraordinary words: “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me.” Jesus
himself is bearing the yoke that he speaks of since he is yoked to the
Father, doing only what he sees the Father doing. Jesus is, in his
innermost nature, the one who listens and obeys. What he is saying,
therefore, is to stand next to him, just as one ox stands next to the other
as they pull together. Just as Jesus is yoked to the Father, so **we should
be yoked to him, obeying him as he obeys the Father. *
