SHOULDER MY YOKE: 14th Sunday OT A

POINTING TO THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD

The readings today tell us about humility! The first reading tells us that Jesus the humble King of kings will come to us humble and riding on a donkey. The second reading tells us that we must be interested in spiritual things because the Spirit of God is in us. But how do we receive the Holy Spirit? Again, we receive the Holy Spirit by becoming humble, by becoming like little children, by becoming like Jesus the child and Son of God, by becoming dependent on God our Father, by putting our faith in God our Father like Jesus did; and our yoke will become easy and our burden light. So the gospel tells us.
