As we hear Jesus this weekend, we could think that he promises no problems and no worries. But instead he says there is a burden; there is a yoke. What makes it easy and light is a meekness and humility of heart.
On this July 4th weekend, we celebrate ourselves as a nation, and hopefully we think twice about who we are and who we need to be. With the words of the gospel echoing in our ears, we remember the words of one of our greatest presidents, Abraham Lincoln. In his Second Inaugural, he speaks with meekness and humility about the burden and yoke to be borne.
With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.
