14th Sunday in Ordinary Time
"Come to me, all you who labor and are
burdened, and I will give you rest." Is there
anyone to whom this doesn't apply? Don't weall have to labor at something, whether it be
work, school, relationships, household affairs,or personal, emotional, or mental battles?Aren't we all burdened in some way at sometime?
Jesus offers us powerful words of consolation
in today's Gospel. He promises us rest. He callsall of us to himself, along with the baggage and
burdens that we carry, and assures us that wewill find relief. Thank God! What a gift for ourtired, weary souls.
The strange part about the passage, however,
is when Jesus suggests that in order to find thiswonderful rest, we have to take a "yoke" upon
our shoulders. This of course is a reference to
the animal harness of old that would join twooxen together to share the weight of the load
they carried. He tells us, "Take my yoke upon
you and learn from me ..• For my yoke is easy, i.lJand my burden light." Somehow, joining Jesusin his work is supposed to bring us rest!
Contrary to the standard belief that notworking is the source of relief, Jesus urges usto join him in his mission in order to find
peace. But what is this mission? To be "meek
and humble of heart." Jesus' work is to do
whatever God the Father wants him to do. As
he says elsewhere, "My food is to do the will
of the one who sent me and to finish his work"(In 4:34). So, it seems that if we also humblysubmit to doing God's work-with Jesus right
alongside us as our partner in the task-we will"find rest" for ourselves. So as we labor
through the trials of the day, may we bear this
in mind, and pray that we may handle them
according to the will of God.

FROM THE PASTOR'S DESK
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION PROGRAM
One of the vital elements of Parish life is the Religious Education of it's young people. It hasbecome absolutely necessary for me to come to you to ask for your support and help.
Over the past years our Religious Education teaching staffhas seriously declined. We are to thepoint where we are in dire need of teachers and aids to work within our program. I am seriouslyasking our parishioners to please consider volunteering a small portion of their time on Sundaymornings to help in this vital area of the life of our Parish Community. In a parish of our size, thisshould not be a problem.
With September approaching quickly, and the need for child abuse clearances to be obtained, itis of utmost importance to staff our program as soon as possible. Please prayerfully consideroffering your help and call the Rectory office to indicate your willingness to help.
I offer my most sincere thanks to all our teaches and aids who have help to hold our ReligiousEducation Program together over the past years and offer our children instruction in the Catholicfaith. May God bless them for their great effort. It is now time to add much needed help to thesededicated individuals who have labored to keep our program afloat for many years. Please consideroffering your help to share the gift of Faith handed on to you by your parents and instructors in thepastwiththenextgenerationofCatholicsinourParish!!!!!! YOURCOOPERATIONISVITAL!!
