My Burden Is Light

Suffering and Consolation in the Christian Life
Book • 2025
This volume presents a selection of sermons by St. John of Avila, translated into English by Brandon Otto, focusing on how Christians can bear suffering with faith and find consolation in God. The sermons are pastoral, direct, and practical, reflecting John of Avila's preaching style which emphasized confession, sacramental life, and interior reform.

Suitable as an accessible entry point to his thought, the collection highlights themes of contentment, trust in God's providence, and the call to work in God's vineyard.

The translator provides readable English renderings that preserve the rhetorical force of the original Spanish sermons.

The book is often recommended for clergy and laypeople seeking guidance on holiness amid suffering.
