Our first reading today is of renewed strength and vigor, it is
about soaring on eagles’ wings; it is
about walking and running and giving
God the glory for it! Our God is a God of strength and power and compassion. He
does not like to see his children weak, infirm and fainting – he wants to
always be there to bolster them up.
And so let us go to him who is
the source of power, strength, rest and refreshment – and he will renew us. The
only prerequisite – as he tells us in the gospel passage – is that we be like
him: “meek and humble of heart” – and our
yokes, like his, will be easy,
and our burdens light. They will not
be taken from us, because they are our “keys to heaven” – but they will not
overwhelm us or frighten us any longer.
Behold,
the Lord comes to save his people;
blessed
are those prepared to meet him.
