Dear Our Lady of the Assumption Parish Family,<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The Jews used the image of a yoke to express submission to God. They spoke of the yoke of the law, the yoke of the commandments, the yoke of the kingdom, the yoke of God. Jesus tells us His yoke is \u201ceasy\u201d. There\u2019s a story of a man who once met a boy carrying a smaller, crippled lad on his back. \u201cThat\u2019s a heavy load you are carrying there,\u201d exclaimed the man. \u201cHe ain\u2019t heavy; he\u2019s my brother!\u201d responded the boy. No burden is too heavy when it\u2019s given and carried in love.\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n
The yoke of Christ\u2019s kingdom, His kingly rule and way of life, frees us. Only Jesus can lift our burdens from us \u2013 and give us love and glory in exchange. Jesus used the analogy of a yoke to explain how we can exchange the burden of sin for freedom in Christ. The yoke which Jesus invites us to embrace is His way of grace and freedom.\u00a0When we are yoked to Jesus, we are connected to His humble obedience,\u00a0and it is there that we find rest.<\/em>

\u00a0<\/div>\n
Have a peaceful day.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Yours in Christ,<\/div>\n
Father Edward Domme<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
