Come to Me, All You Who Labor and are Burdened, and I Will Give you Rest. What Does That Mean?

Come to Me, All You Who Labor and are Burdened, and I Will Give you Rest. What Does That Mean?

The first reading (not included within this audio) speaks of the redemptive power of God.

In doing so, there is a vital and often overlooked invitation. In the Gospel we hear the Lord say . . .  Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.

What exactly is that labor and what is that rest? If we are not careful, we can just list all our struggles. In doing that, we fall short in catching the full point of what Jesus is telling us!  We also hear that the prophet calls out to God in the voice of the people.  Hear more in the Homily.
