First reading Exodus 3:13-20

God reveals his name to Moses

Moses, hearing the voice of God coming from the middle of the bush, said to him, ‘I am to go, then, to the sons of Israel and say to them, “The God of your fathers has sent me to you.” But if they ask me what his name is, what am I to tell them?’ And God said to Moses, ‘I Am who I Am. This’ he added ‘is what you must say to the sons of Israel: “I Am has sent me to you.”’ And God also said to Moses, ‘You are to say to the sons of Israel: “The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.” This is my name for all time; by this name I shall be invoked for all generations to come.
  ‘Go and gather the elders of Israel together and tell them, “The Lord, the God of your fathers, has appeared to me, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob; and he has said to me: I have visited you and seen all that the Egyptians are doing to you. And so I have resolved to bring you up out of Egypt where you are oppressed, into the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, to a land where milk and honey flow.” They will listen to your words, and with the elders of Israel you are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, “The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has come to meet us. Give us leave, then, to make a three days’ journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifice to the Lord our God.” For myself, knowing that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless he is forced by a mighty hand, I shall show my power and strike Egypt with all the wonders I am going to work there. After this he will let you go.’
 

Responsorial Psalm 104(105):1,5,8-9,24-27

The Lord remembers his covenant for ever.
or
Alleluia!
 
Give thanks to the Lord, tell his name,
  make known his deeds among the peoples.
Remember the wonders he has done,
  his miracles, the judgements he spoke.
 
The Lord remembers his covenant for ever.
or
Alleluia!
 
He remembers his covenant for ever,
  his promise for a thousand generations,
the covenant he made with Abraham,
  the oath he swore to Isaac.
 
The Lord remembers his covenant for ever.
or
Alleluia!
 
He gave his people increase;
  he made them stronger than their foes,
whose hearts he turned to hate his people
  and to deal deceitfully with his servants.
 
The Lord remembers his covenant for ever.
or
Alleluia!
 
Then he sent Moses his servant
  and Aaron the man he had chosen.
Through them he showed his marvels
  and his wonders in the country of Ham.
 
The Lord remembers his covenant for ever.
or
Alleluia!
 

Gospel Matthew 11:28-30

My yoke is easy and my burden light

Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest. Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light.’

Reflection
Exodus 3:13-20, Matthew 11:28-30

“Come to me and rest”
Let these words of Jesus echo within us: “Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest”. Jesus is the one personally calling us to come to Him and promises us to give us the rest we desire. In this Covid-ridden world, we can be tired in body, mind and spirit, and thus, Jesus wants to walk with us and gives us the strength to face each challenge and hardship with peace and hope.

“Shoulder my yoke…”: A yoke is a wooden beam fitted on the necks of two oxens and attached to a plough. It allows the two animals to share the heavy load and pull it together. Jesus does not promise us that our lives will be free from carrying heavy burdens. Instead, He offers us His yoke that is easy and light for us to have because He is the one carrying it with us. Let us come before Jesus today and give Him our tiredness and ask Him to renew our strength once again.

Question for reflection:
Do I hear Jesus’ gentle invitation to come to Him and find rest in Him?
?????????

(Versi BM)

Renungan
Keluaran 3:13-20, Matius 11:28-30

“Datang kepada ku dan beristirehat”
Biarkan perkataan Yesus ini bergema dalam hati kita: “Marilah kepadaku semua yang letih lesu dan berbeban berat, Aku akan memberi kelegaan kepadamu”. Yesus sendiri memanggil kita untuk datang kepadaNya dan berjanji akan memberi kelegaan yang kita inginkan. Dalam dunia Covid ini, kita dapat merasa kelelahan tubuh, minda dan semangat dan kerana itu Yesus ingin berjalan bersama dengan kita dan memberikan kita kekuatan untuk menghadapi cabaran dan kesusahan dengan kedamaian dan harapan.

“Pikullah kuk yang kupasang…”: Kuk adalah sebatang kayu yang dipasang pada leher dua ekor lembu dan dilekatkan pada bajak. Ini membenarkan dua ekor binatang berkongsi beban berat dan dan menariknya bersama. Yesus tidak menjanjikan hidup kita akan bebas dari memikul beban berat. Sebaliknya, Yesus menawarkan kuk-Nya yang mudah dan ringan untuk kita pikul kerana Dialah yang membawanya bersama kita. Marilah datang dihadapan Yesus hari ini dan memberikan kelelahan kita kepadaNya dan memohonNya untuk memperbaharui kekuatan kita sekali lagi.

Soalan renungan:
Adakah saya mendengar jemputan lembut Yesus untuk datang kepadaNya dan beristirehat di dalam Dia?
?????????

Kaingkualan 3:13-20; Matius 11:28-30

"Ratong kano Raki' akau ngaangai' ondo' naagui sabap ra naagatan; patanguson Ku akau. Gagayaa' noyo susuban Kuno am igigila' kano Raki', sabap ra Aku ti mataau am minggana' guang am akau pana makaalap ra kaansayan. Gagayaa' noyo susuban Kuno sabap ra matasu' am mamaan pasaanin Kuno ramuyun."

Pemungkal 3:13-20; Matthew 11:28-30

“Datai ngagai aku lalu belelak meh.”
Awak ka leka jako Jesus tu diau dalam kitai: “Datai ngagai Aku semua kita ke lelak ngema utai ti berat, lalu Aku deka ngasuh kita belelak.” Jesus meh ti ngangau kitai awak datai ngagai Iya sereta besemaya deka meri kitai endur belelak ti nyadi julok ati kitai. Lebuh maya pengerekai Covid-19 ba dunya tu, kitai tentu berasai lelak dalam tubuh, runding enggau semengat, nya alai Jesus deka bejalai sertai kitai lalu meri kitai pengering dikena kitai lebuh genap penguji sereta penusah datai ngena pemaik enggau pengandal Iya.

“Ambi lalu san tangkun aku…”:tangkun tu dikena sapi/kerebau gawa ba umai. Tangkun tu ngasuh pengawa nyadi mudah lalu enda ngenusah tauka ngemerat ka sapi/kerebau lebuh gawa ba umai. Jesus enda besemaya pengidup kitai lepas ari ma ti berat. Lebih ari nya, Iya besemaya bekungsi tangkun Iya enggau kitai awak nyadi mudah sereta lempong disan laban Iya sama enggau kitai. Aram meh kitai datai ngagai Jesus saritu lalu meri Iya pengelelak kitai serera minta Iya ngemaru pengering kitai baru.

Bisi aku ninga kangau Jesus awak datai sereta belelak dalam Iya?

省思
《出三:13-20》
《玛十一:28-30》

“来到我这及休憩吧”
就让这些词句在我们的怀里回荡吧:“来到我这,你们这些劳动及负重的人们,我将给予你们得到休憩”。耶稣召唤我们到祂身边去,并且承诺让我们得到我们想要的憩息。在这被新冠病毒笼罩着的世界里,我们可能已经达到了一个身心灵疲累的状态,因此耶稣想要与我们一同行走,及给予我们力量以和平与希望去面对面一个挑战和困境。

“肩负起我的轭……”,轭是一种横放在两只公牛间及附着在犁上的横木。这横木让这两只动物分担负重,以及一同拉动这个负重。耶稣没有承诺我们,好让我们的生命免于负载着重担。取而代之的是,祂赐予了我们祂的轭,是一种对我们来说属于轻盈的轭,因为祂与我们一同肩负起这一个轭。今天,就让我们来到耶稣的跟前,并且把我们的疲累交托给祂,还要寻求祂再次翻新我们的气力吧。

省思题:
我是否有聆听到耶稣邀请我到祂那儿去及得到休憩呢?
