## Roman Catholic Lens Reading of Matthew 11:28-30 (Come to Me All Who Are Weary)
### Tradition-Specific Interpretation
We read Matthew 11:28-30 as a profound invitation from Christ to enter into the rest that He provides through His grace and the sacramental life of the Church. This passage is a call to receive the peace that comes from union with Christ, which is made present to us in a special way through the Eucharist. It is an invitation to embrace the yoke of discipleship, which, though demanding, is light because it is carried with and through Christ. In this way, it aligns with the Catholic understanding of synergy, where God's grace works with our human cooperation in the journey of sanctification.
