The Scripture for today’s feast day included those words of Jesus: “My yoke is easy.” Usually I gag as in “who are you kidding?” But today I got a different take on it. This is because I am going to Al-Anon meetings and taking in 12 Step wisdom. The “one day at a time” idea is particularly repugnant to this frenetic schemer.
But today I put the two together. Of course! If I am only doing one day at a time the yoke is not as heavy as if I am trying to carry the crosses connected to every future possibility!
The Scripture that matches one day at a time is the Lilies of the Field – and surely St. Francis didn’t carry the burden of the future around on his back every day.

Well the better translation is:
"Come to me, all you that labour, and are burdened, and I will refresh you. Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: and you shall find rest to your souls. For my yoke is sweet and my burden light."
This is from the Douay-Rheims Bible.
Sweet it is! Easy… heck no!!!!
Those modern translations will get you every time (lol).
