The Secret to Lightening our Burdens - William Cardinal Goh (Homily - 17 July 2025)

Jesus offers us a profound and tender invitation, “Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest.” In the midst of our restless and anxious lives, these words speak directly to our hearts. But to truly find rest in Jesus, we must come to know the heart of the Father, revealed through Christ’s words, actions, and, ultimately, His sacrifice. Jesus did not obey His Father reluctantly or under compulsion; He surrendered freely out of love, grounded in perfect union with the Father. Often, our burdens, especially those of anxiety, fear, or resentment, persist because we struggle to trust in that same love. Jesus invites us to learn from Him: to know the Father as He does, and to surrender our lives into the care of divine love that never fails.
