When you think of a king coming before his people, the image of someone riding on a
donkey does not come to mind. If the Lone Ranger had Silver and Roy Rogers had
Trigger, a similar white stallion would seem most fitting for a king. Not an ass, even a
purebred one. But this image from the prophet Zechariah is one that must have planted
itself in the imagination of Jesus, for that is how he made his great entrance into Jerusalem and was greeted as the Messiah. It was not the entrance of a powerful warrior, but
of a gentle king whose rule would bring peace to the nations.
I have sometimes regretted the loss of St. Christopher from the calendar of saints. That
legendary saint, whose name means “Christ-bearer,” signaled that the risen Lord had
now chosen to be carried by his disciples. We bear him in our bodies, minds, and
hearts. We bring him to the world when we work to bring peace and healing and
knowledge of the Father.
This necessitates being willing to take on the yoke of Jesus. I remember once hearing
that the yokes Jesus made in the carpenter shop under Joseph’s guidance rode easily on the shoulders of the
animals, distributing evenly the weight they pulled. The yoke Jesus offers us is his teaching about the kingdom
of heaven and how to live in it while in the world. This means putting on his attitude and spirit of attentive listening for the will of the Father—home schooling in the best sense.

“I see the church
as a field hospital after battle.
It is useless to ask a seriously injured
person if he has high cholesterol and
about the level of his blood sugars!
You have to heal his wounds.
Then we can talk about everything else.
Heal the wounds, heal the wounds.
And you have to start
from the ground up.”
