تعَالَوا إِليَّ يَا جَمِيعَ المُتْعَبِينَ والمُثْقَلِينَ بِالأَحْمَال، وأَنَا أُريْحُكُم/Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens

62

تعَالَوا إِليَّ يَا جَمِيعَ المُتْعَبِينَ والمُثْقَلِينَ بِالأَحْمَال، وأَنَا أُريْحُكُم. إِحْمِلُوا نِيْري عَلَيْكُم، وكُونُوا لي تَلاميذ، لأَنِّي وَدِيعٌ ومُتَواضِعُ القَلْب، فَتَجِدُوا رَاحَةً لِنُفُوسِكُم. أَجَل، إِنَّ نِيْري لَيِّن، وحِمْلي خَفِيف
إنجيل القدّيس متّى11/من25حتى30/:”قالَ الربُّ يَسوعُ: «أَعْتَرِفُ لَكَ، يَا أَبَتِ، رَبَّ السَّمَاءِ والأَرْض، لأَنَّكَ أَخْفَيْتَ هذِهِ الأُمُورَ عَنِ الحُكَمَاءِ والفُهَمَاء، وأَظْهَرْتَها لِلأَطْفَال! نَعَمْ، أَيُّها الآب، لأَنَّكَ هكَذَا ٱرْتَضَيْت! لَقَدْ سَلَّمَنِي أَبي كُلَّ شَيء، فَمَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَعْرِفُ ٱلٱبْنَ إِلاَّ الآب، ومَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَعْرِفُ الآبَ إِلاَّ ٱلٱبْن، ومَنْ يُرِيدُ ٱلٱبْنُ أَنْ يُظْهِرَهُ لَهُ. تَعَالَوا إِليَّ يَا جَمِيعَ المُتْعَبِينَ والمُثْقَلِينَ بِالأَحْمَال، وأَنَا أُريْحُكُم. إِحْمِلُوا نِيْري عَلَيْكُم، وكُونُوا لي تَلاميذ، لأَنِّي وَدِيعٌ ومُتَواضِعُ القَلْب، فَتَجِدُوا رَاحَةً لِنُفُوسِكُم. أَجَل، إِنَّ نِيْري لَيِّن، وحِمْلي خَفِيف!».

وحَتَّى الآنَ نُشْتَمُ فَنُبَارِك، نُضْطَهَدُ فَنَحْتَمِل، يُفْتَرَى عَلَيْنَا فَنُعَزِّي! لَقَدْ صِرْنَا مِثْلَ أَقْذَارِ العَالَم، وَنِفَايَةِ النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِين
رسالة القدّيس بولس الأولى إلى أهل قورنتس04/من09حتى17/:”يا إخوَتِي، إِنِّي أَرَى أَنَّ اللهَ قَدْ أَظْهَرَنَا نَحْنُ الرُّسُلَ أَدْنَى النَّاس، كأَنَّنَا مَحْكُومٌ عَلَيْنَا بِالمَوت، لأَنَّنَا صِرْنَا مَشْهَدًا لِلعَالَمِ والمَلائِكَةِ والبَشَر. نَحْنُ حَمْقَى مِنْ أَجْلِ المَسِيح، وأَنْتُم عُقَلاءُ في المَسِيح! نَحْنُ ضُعَفَاء، وأَنْتُم أَقْوِيَاء! أَنْتُم مُكَرَّمُون، وَنَحْنُ مُهَانُون! ولا نَزَالُ حَتَّى هذَهِ السَّاعَةِ نَجُوعُ ، ونَعْطَشُ، ونُعَرَّى، ونُلْطَمُ، ونُشَرَّدُ، ونَتْعَبُ عَامِلِينَ بِأَيْدِينَا! وحَتَّى الآنَ نُشْتَمُ فَنُبَارِك، نُضْطَهَدُ فَنَحْتَمِل، يُفْتَرَى عَلَيْنَا فَنُعَزِّي! لَقَدْ صِرْنَا مِثْلَ أَقْذَارِ العَالَم، وَنِفَايَةِ النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِين! لَسْتُ أَكْتُبُ إِلَيْكُم بِذَلِكَ لأُخْجِلَكُم، بَلْ لأَنْصَحَكُم كأَوْلادِي الأَحِبَّاء! ولَو كَانَ لَكُم عَشَرَاتُ الآلافِ مِنَ المُرَبِّينَ في المَسِيح، فَلَيْسَ لَكُم آبَاءٌ كَثِيرُون، لأَنِّي أَنَا ولَدْتُكُم بِبِشَارَةِ الإِنْجِيلِ في المَسِيحِ يَسُوع. أُنَاشِدُكُم إِذًا أَنْ تَقْتَدُوا بي. كَذَلِكَ أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْكُم طِيمُوتَاوُس، وهوَ لي وَلَدٌ حَبِيبٌ وأَمِينٌ في الرَّب، لِيُذَكِّرَكُم بِطُرُقِي في المَسِيحِ يَسُوع، كَمَا أُعَلِّمُ في كُلِّ مَكَان، في كُلِّ كَنيسَة”.

Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 11/25-30/:”‘I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. ‘Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.’”

When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure; when slandered, we speak kindly. We have become like the rubbish of the world, the dregs of all things, to this very day
First Letter to the Corinthians 04/09-17/:”For I think that God has exhibited us apostles as last of all, as though sentenced to death, because we have become a spectacle to the world, to angels and to mortals. We are fools for the sake of Christ, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are held in honour, but we in disrepute. To the present hour we are hungry and thirsty, we are poorly clothed and beaten and homeless, and we grow weary from the work of our own hands. When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we endure; when slandered, we speak kindly. We have become like the rubbish of the world, the dregs of all things, to this very day. I am not writing this to make you ashamed, but to admonish you as my beloved children. For though you might have ten thousand guardians in Christ, you do not have many fathers. Indeed, in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.
I appeal to you, then, be imitators of me. For this reason I sent you Timothy, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ Jesus, as I teach them everywhere in every church.”
