The light burden of Yeshua

What then are we afraid of? Can we have too much
of God? ... Is it a misfortune to be freed from
the heavy yoke of the world, and to bear the light
burden of Jesus Christ? Do we fear to be too happy,
too much delivered from ourselves, from the caprices
of our pride, the violence of our passions, and the
tyranny of a deceitful world?
- François Fénelon (1651-1715), "Pious Reflections
for Every Day in the Month"
