The yoke of Jesus stands for His Lordship. When someone says "yes" to Jesus, he or she places Jesus above themselves. He is the Teacher, we are His students. But, because of His gentle compassion and humility, the Lordship of Jesus has the weight of love – uplifting and empowering – making His yoke easy and the burden light.

"Prayer to the Precious Blood" written by St. Elizabeth Ann Seton:
Lord Jesus, by faith in Your merits, I now take Your Precious Blood and sprinkle it over myself and my family right from the crown of my head to the very soles of my feet. I claim total and complete protection for my life and my family. Lord Jesus, keep me free today from evil, sin, temptation, Satan’s attacks and afflictions, fear of darkness, fear of man, sickness, diseases, doubts, anger, all calamities and from all that is not of thy Kingdom. Fill me, Lord Jesus, with the gift of Your Holy Spirit, and grant me the gifts of wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and discernment so that I will live today in Your glory by doing that which is right. Amen. ... See MoreSee Less

The priority of faith demanded radical consequences for early Christians. Since extended, closely-knit families formed the basis of ancient society, a choice for Christ could mean a rejection of the family's faith and values. And, ultimately, excommunication by the family. Outside of one's extended family, a person could easily slide into homelessness.
Jesus tells His followers that the Christian life involves such risks. And one cannot compromise these risks away. We are left with the choice; do we place our relationship with Jesus above all else, or do we let “finding our place in this world” take priority?
What risks have you had to take to put Jesus first in your life? ... See MoreSee Less
