Free from the Yoke — Reflection for the 13th Week in OT

Written By Philip Cheung

In this Sunday’s readings, there is a common theme of “yokes.” Elisha’s yokes of oxen. St. Paul’s reference to the yoke of slavery. Jesus’ analogy of placing one’s hand on the plow and looking back. These yokes can be likened to the attachments that hold us back and keep up from following the Lord reservedly and living the life for which we have been made — freedom, true freedom. What are the “yokes” that hold us back? Let us ask the Lord to break us free from them.
