Another amazing blog post:

"A couple of years ago, a
blog post by a former spiritual director of mine, Msgr. Charles Pope, helped me understand Jesus’ words in a new way:
'Jesus says that the cross He has for us is “easy.” The Greek word χρηστὸς (
chrestos) is better translated as “well-fitting,” “suitable,” or even “useful.”
The Lord is saying that the yoke He has for us is suited to us; it is well-fitting; it has been carefully chosen so as to be useful for us. God knows that we need some crosses in order to grow and He knows what they are. He also knows what we can bear and what we are ready for. Yes, His yoke for us is well-fitting.'
Mind. Blown. His yoke is
well-fitting. It was designed for me, which means that with God's grace, its weight won't crush me.
His yoke is well-fitting. Only the crosses Jesus asks me to carry will be well-fitted to me."
