“Come to Me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest…”
Mt. 11:28
We often carry burdens that are not ours: other people’s hurts, expectations, and thoughts that push our gaze downward.
When we let go of what is unnecessary, it becomes easier to lift our eyes toward heaven and see the star.
Christ does not ask us to carry burdens that do not belong to us. He wants to see us free, because freedom leads to love.
Task:
Reflect: What is weighing on you that is not yours?
Say to God: “Lord, I give this burden to You.”
