Come to me, all you labor and are heavy laded, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30
Christ our partner
you invite us to bear your yoke,
so that sharing in your work,
we may find our real selves
in relationship with you
and with those
we would bring to your friendship.
