Jesus promises not to lay burdens on those who
follow him in faith. Far from a religion which
oppresses people, Christianity is intended to
offer rest to the weary and strength to the
weak. Are we able to enjoy our faith or do we
see it as something heavy? Is it a weight off
our minds or a burden on our soul?
Come to me all you who labour and are
overburdened and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11: 28)
Religion
is not for the clever, for those with minds that can
analyse and dissect dogmas. God has revealed the
mysteries of faith to those who simply learn to know his
Son.
William
Wordsworth once said:
"Wisdom is
often nearer when we stoop than when we soar"
St John Vianney said, "We do not have to talk very much
in order to pray well. We know that God is there in His
holy tabernacle; let us open our hearts to Him; let us
rejoice in His Presence: This is the best prayer."
