Oscar Romero on Rest for the Oppressed - Liberation (Matthew 11:28-30)

Source: Oscar Romero49 words

"Jesus speaks to the 'heavy laden'—the campesinos crushed by unjust labor, the poor burdened by systems that exploit. His rest is not opiate but strength: rest to continue the fight, rest that declares their worth, rest that is itself resistance to dehumanization." — Oscar Romero. Liberation: rest as resistance.
