Четверг

(Rom. 11, 13–24; Matt. 11, 27–30) “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). O divine, oh dear, oh sweetest of Thy voice! Let us all follow the Lord who calls us! But first we must realize that it is difficult and difficult for us to feel, that is, that we have many sins, and these sins are serious. From this feeling will be born the need to seek relief for yourself. Faith will then show us the only refuge in the Lord the Savior, and our steps will automatically direct themselves towards Him. A soul that desires to get rid of sins knows what to say to the Lord: “take away from me the heavy, sinful burden, and I will take Your good yoke.” And it happens like this: the Lord forgives sins, and the soul begins to walk in His commandments. And the commandments are a yoke, and sins are a burden. But having compared both, the soul finds that the yoke of the commandments is light as a feather, and the burden of sins is heavy as a mountain. Let us not be afraid to willingly accept the Lord’s good yoke and His light burden! Only in this way, and not otherwise, can we find peace for our souls. You might be interested in:
