WHO ARE WE?
In Sunday's readings, Zechariah refers to our Lord as, "Your King comes to you,...humble and riding on a donkey". St Paul says, "unless you possessed the Spirit of Christ you do not belong to Him" and St Matthew refers to our Lord as saying, "shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart." The Lord is the teacher and we are His pupils and if we wish to learn from Him, we must be humble, spiritual and gentle, and being so "will find rest for our souls".
