"God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM.'

I made it to the 8am Mass at St. Pio. It was beautiful as always.

 And God revealed His name to Moses: “I AM.”

 As it is written in (Exodus 3:14)

"God said to Moses, 'I AM WHO I AM.' Then he said, 'You shall say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you.'"

The Gospel reading was where Jesus said His burden was light. The priest mentioned in his brief homily how we are called to take on the yoke of Christ.

Jesus said:

"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."

 (Matthew 11:28–30)

On our own, this world is heavy. But with God, we can carry burdens with some ease.

 Our faith in God doesn't mean we will not suffer in this world, but it means our suffering is redemptive.

 The older we get, the more suffering we may face. But with God, we can endure it.

God bless you,
