With and In God:

God is within us and we are in God, and therefore we are in one another. This connection is not conscious. We have our own egos and our own self-knowledge, history and story. Rather, this connection is a unification of the human element in us all, spread forth from the past to the present and to the future, the living essence of God and the mystical within.

'Overburdened' - Faith:

In today's Gospel, Jesus invites us to go to Him if we feel 'overburdened' in our life. There is no surer way in this world than to go to the Lord when we are in need. He will surely lighten our burdens and soothe our pains. He will never let us down.

Everything comes from love, all is ordained for the salvation of man, God does nothing without this goal in mind.

- Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380)

Merit consists in the virtue of love alone, flavored with the light of true discretion, without which the soul is worth nothing.
