At that time Jesus exclaimed:
"I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
for although you have hidden these things
from the wise and the learned
you have revealed them to little ones.
Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will.
All things have been handed over to me by my Father.
No one knows the Son except the Father,
and no one knows the Father except the Son
and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him."
"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened,
and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,
for I am meek and humble of heart;
and you will find rest for yourselves.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden light."
The Gospel of the Lord,
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ

Reflection
Who is not tired these days?
Tired from work, responsibilities, bills, family concerns, bad news, traffic, expectations, and sometimes even tired of pretending that everything is okay. There are days when we simply want to say, “Lord, kapoy na.”
And in today’s Gospel, Jesus says, “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.”
Jesus does not promise a life without problems. He offers something deeper: the comfort of knowing that we do not carry everything alone. God’s love gives us a place to rest when life becomes too heavy. In prayer, in silence, in the Eucharist, and sometimes through the people He sends into our lives, He reminds us that we are loved and accompanied.
We may still wake up tomorrow with the same responsibilities and problems. But when the heart finds rest in God, we find the strength to continue.
So if you are tired today, come to Jesus as you are. Sometimes the most honest prayer is simply, “Lord, kapoy na ko. Please stay with me.”
