The Gospel reading is from Matthew 11:28-30:
"Jesus said to the crowds: "Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light."
Yoking ourselves to Christ is what makes the burden light because He will accompany us where ever we go, making it easier for us.
The great illusion is that joy will come from filling up the ego with goods. In fact, it will come from emptying out, from turning one's life over to the direction of God.~ from Bishop Barron's Advent Gospel meditation for this day.
