Commentary:
Christ is especially compassionate toward those who suffer and carry a heavy heart. He invites them to prayer with the assurance of peace and serenity. "No one is without a family in this world: The Church is a home and family for everyone, especially those who 'labor and are heavy laden'" (FC 85). (CCC 459, 1658)
