Yoked to Christ: You Were Never Meant to Carry Life Alone

In this homily, Fr. Prabhu reflects on how we often answer "I'm fine" while secretly carrying hidden burdens - worry, guilt, grief, loneliness. Drawing from the Gospel, he unpacks three movements:1. Jesus reveals who He is2. His unique bond with the Father; and3. What He offers usThe homily centres on Christ's invitation, "Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest." Fr. Prabhu explains the image of the yoke - how an older ox helps carry the younger one's weight - showing that Christ walks beside us, bearing what we cannot. The message for us to reflect on is burdens remain, but we're never alone in carrying them.- Sunday Homily by Fr. Antony Prabhu, C.Ss.R. (5 July 2026)
