Homily by Abbot Peter McCarthy: 11-26-2015 Today’s Gospel is both a thanksgiving & an invitation: “Come to me all you who labor & are burdened & I will give you rest.” This Gospel is one of the most explicit expressions of thanksgiving – of gratitude – coming from the heart of Jesus of Nazareth. “I give praise to you Father – “I give thanks to you Father” “I confess – I give witness to you, Father.” Jesus is deeply immersed in this prayer…this is a gratitude that is intimate enough to be both a witness & a revelation.
