Come to Me: Discovering True Rest in Christ

Come to Me: Discovering True Rest in Christ The Homily contrasts our productivity driven culture . . . . . . where only the “best” are chosen . . . with Jesus’ open invitation to the weary and overlooked. Two anecdotes illustrate the point: a seminary soccer game in which an unskilled player is always picked last, and a mother abandoned by her husband when their disabled daughter could no longer “contribute.” Both stories expose a world that prizes achievement but discards weakness. In sharp relief, God declares in Scripture, “I am concerned about my people,” and Christ echoes, “Come to me … and I will give you rest.” This “rest” is more than relief; it is the deep satisfaction and fulfillment God experienced on the seventh day of creation. The Homily urges listeners to drop their reservations, open their hearts fully, and accept the only rest that truly satisfies . . . the peace and completeness found in Christ. How?
