I am with you always

The Word of God:
“Jesus said, ‘Come to me all you who are burdened and weary, and I will give you rest’…” Matthew 11:28
Reflection
God’s Word today is a comforting word to you; a word to remember whenever your heart or mind are troubled, anxious or weary. Sometimes things become too big for us to carry alone. We can feel worn down by the constant grind of responsibilities and pressures. Jesus invites you to come to him, to trust him with your worries and rest safely in his love.
Ritual
You can do that right now, simply by sitting very still, closing your eyes and letting your body relax… Be aware of whatever worries you may have in your heart or on your mind…And with your eyes closed, imagine Jesus reaching out His hand to you, saying, “Come to me…, come and find rest in me”… Listen to Him… Imagine, now, placing all your worries in your hands and passing them to Jesus… When you have done this, rest quietly in the peace of Jesus.
Remember
Jesus is there for me, whenever I am troubled or burdened.

Justice Peace
