Even during seasons of rest and renewal, life cont Even during seasons of rest and renewal, life continues to bring challenges. We may carry concerns about our families, our work, our responsibilities, or our own spiritual growth. At times, the journey can feel long and tiring. 
“Whenever we get tired - in our work, in our studies, in our apostolic endeavors - when our horizon is darkened by lowering clouds, then let us turn our eyes to Jesus, to Jesus who is so good, and who also gets tired.” (Friends of God, no. 201) 
St. Josemaria reminds us that God does not ask us to carry our burdens alone. He meets us in the middle of our ordinary lives and gives us the grace we need to persevere with joy. 
As summer continues, may we seek not only physical rest, but also the deeper rest that comes from placing our trust in Christ. He renews our strength so that we can return to our daily duties with greater love and generosity. 
How is Jesus inviting you to rest in Him today?
