Reading the Holy Gospel from Matthew (Matthew 10:37-38; 11:28-30).
Glory to Thee, Lord, glory to Thee! (Bow.)
Whoever loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and whoever loves a son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me; and whoever does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest; take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls; For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.
