Reading 1 Zec 9:9-10 Thus says the LORD:Rejoice heartily, O daughter Zion,shout for joy, O daughter Jerusalem!See, your king shall come to you;a just savior is he,meek, and riding on an ass,on a colt, the foal of an ass.He shall banish the chariot from Ephraim,and the horse from Jerusalem;the warrior's bow shall be banished,and he shall proclaim peace to the nations.His dominion shall be from sea to sea,and from the River to the ends of the earth.Reading 2 Rom 8:9, 11-13 Brothers and sisters:You are not in the flesh;on the contrary, you are in the spirit,if only the Spirit of God dwells in you.Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you,the one who raised Christ from the deadwill give life to your mortal bodies also,through his Spirit that dwells in you.Consequently, brothers and sisters,we are not debtors to the flesh,to live according to the flesh.For if you live according to the flesh, you will die,but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body,you will live.Gospel Mt 11:25-30 At that time Jesus exclaimed:"I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,for although you have hidden these thingsfrom the wise and the learnedyou 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 Sonand 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."

I appeal to Euodia and to Syntyche to agree in the Lord … Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, rejoice! Let everyone see your gentleness. – Philippians 4. Today, we look at a conflict that's often passed over when we read this book, and how Paul admonishes us to shape our response. Will conflict cause us to run away from resilient joy – or will we become more deeply rooted in it?

Reading 1 Is 66:10-14c Thus says the LORD: Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad because of her, all you who love her; exult, exult with her, all you who were mourning over her! Oh, that you may suck fully of the milk of her comfort, that you may nurse with delight at her abundant breasts! For thus says the LORD: Lo, I will spread prosperity over Jerusalem like a river, and the wealth of the nations like an overflowing torrent. As nurslings, you shall be carried in her arms, and fondled in her lap; as a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you; in Jerusalem you shall find your comfort. When you see this, your heart shall rejoice and your bodies flourish like the grass; the LORD's power shall be known to his servants.Reading 2 Gal 6:14-18 Brothers and sisters: May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. For neither does circumcision mean anything, nor does uncircumcision, but only a new creation. Peace and mercy be to all who follow this rule and to the Israel of God. From now on, let no one make troubles for me; for I bear the marks of Jesus on my body. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers and sisters. Amen.Gospel Lk 10:1-12, 17-20 At that time the Lord appointed seventy-two others whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit. He said to them, "The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest. Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves. Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals; and greet no one along the way. Into whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace to this household.' If a peaceful person lives there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. Stay in the same house and eat and drink what is offered to you, for the laborer deserves his payment. Do not move about from one house to another. Whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat what is set before you, cure the sick in it and say to them, 'The kingdom of God is at hand for you.' Whatever town you enter and they do not receive you, go out into the streets and say, 'The dust of your town that clings to our feet, even that we shake off against you.' Yet know this: the kingdom of God is at hand. I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom on that day than for that town." The seventy-two returned rejoicing, and said, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us because of your name." Jesus said, "I have observed Satan fall like lightning from the sky. Behold, I have given you the power to 'tread upon serpents' and scorpions and upon the full force of the enemy and nothing will harm you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice because the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice because your names are written in heaven."

Reading 1 Zec 9:9-10 Thus says the LORD: Rejoice heartily, O daughter Zion, shout for joy, O daughter Jerusalem! See, your king shall come to you; a just savior is he, meek, and riding on an ass, on a colt, the foal of an ass. He shall banish the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; the warrior’s bow shall be banished, and he shall proclaim peace to the nations. His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth. Reading 2 ROM 8:9, 11-13 Brothers and sisters: You are not in the flesh; on the contrary, you are in the spirit, if only the Spirit of God dwells in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also, through his Spirit that dwells in you. Consequently, brothers and sisters, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. Gospel Mt 11:25-30 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.”

In the current context of the Church and the world, we can listen to today's Gospel with a renewed sense of comfort. Jesus invites us to find rest in Him. In the second reading, Saint Paul contrasts life according to the flesh and life in the Spirit. When we hear that word, “flesh”, we tend to immediately think of sins against chastity, but the Apostle does not refer exclusively to them, but to an existence directed by the criteria of the world.Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who are tired and burdened and I will give you rest." I ask you: Where do we find rest? Where do we seek refuge from the battle? Where do we have rest and peace? On the sofa? On television? In some activity that relaxes us? In sleeping? In music? In other people? Or do we look for it in sinful behaviors like drugs, the misuse of sexual desire, excessive food or alcohol? That is also "living according to the flesh". Although not everything I have pointed out here is sinful, those who have no faith, those who do not love Christ, do this kind of seeking. When they are tired, they seek their rest in worldly realities, not all of which are bad in themselves but cannot replace true rest.Instead, those who live in the Spirit rest in the Heart of Jesus. They find refuge in the Heart of Jesus. They let their souls rest in the Heart of Jesus. They find their joy in the Heart of Jesus. The mission of the Holy Spirit is to lead us to an intimate union with the Lord.Father Mendizábal, who I have quoted to you so many times, used to say that all the work of redemption could be summed up in a kind of triptych: the Holy Spirit forms in Mary the Heart of Jesus; the Heart of Jesus opened on the cross gives us the Holy Spirit; the Holy Spirit forms in us the Heart of Jesus. This is the life in the Spirit that Saint Paul tells us about. That is the inner movement to which the Lord invites us when he says to us today, "Come to me." That is the true joy that the first reading this Sunday speaks of. The cause of our happiness must be the action of God in us. “Thus says the LORD: Rejoice heartily, O daughter Zion, shout for joy, O daughter Jerusalem! See, your king shall come to you.”How beautiful it is to think that God wants us to find rest, peace, and refreshment in Him! How sad it would be if we, who call ourselves disciples of Jesus, lived according to the flesh, seeking refuge and placebos in the world, which promises happiness and only give disappointment and emptiness!But Jesus has not only invited us to find rest in Him. In the Gospel, he has also invited us to imitate the virtues of his Heart. "Learn from me for I am meek and humble of Heart." The Lord wants us to be like Him and to respond to the setbacks of life as He did. It is not an external imitation, but a participation by the Spirit in the virtues of the Heart of Christ. It is not about being meek like Jesus, but about sharing in the Lord's meekness.True humility, Christian humility, is to participate in the humility of Jesus. For this, the sacraments are necessary, the Eucharist especially must be received frequently and devotedly; as well as prayer, charity with others, the spirit of self-denial that Jesus spoke to us about last Sunday.If this is so, dear brothers and sisters, let us ask God to grant us the means to fulfill what the Lord asks of us here. Lord, let us make your Heart our only refuge and rest. If we do this, He promises us today, "I will give you rest." In other words, Jesus will fill our souls with peace, tranquility, joy, light, strength, grace, and eternal life.This is the wisdom that our Heavenly Father hides from the wise and learned of this world and reveals to the little ones. They have other wisdom and know many things, but we resolve “to know nothing except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” (1 Cor 2:2)Lord, let us rest only in you. Teach us to be like you. Allow us into the intimacy of your Heart, open it to us, and after the trials and burdens of this life, lead us to eternal rest in communion with the Holy Trinity.
