تأمل يسوع بيحبك   ابونا اغسطينوس موريسJesus loves you  Father Augustine Morris

ربي يسوع اسندني لكي لا اخطئ إليك ثانية، دعني أقبّل قدميك وابللهما بدموعي وحبي، دعني أرتمي في حضنك الإلهي كطفل في حضن امه، أبكي بفرح العودة، أبكي برجاء النصرة، أبكي بروح القيامة من سقطاتي الرديئة، سأكون لك بنعمتك، لن يستعبدني العالم ثانية، لن يسبيني الشيطان مرة أخرى، لن يخدعني الجسد بأوهامه، كل هذا بنعمتك، مخلصي القدوس لقد ذقت مرارة الخطية واكتشفت وهمها الردئ، كنت اظنها حرية مفرحة ووجدتها عبودية قاسية، الآن أدرك بنعمتك أنك وحدك فيك الحرية والفرح والسعادة، وبدونك حياتي مرة وكئيبة، الآن أدرك لماذا يفرح الصائم حتى أنك قلت متى صمتم فلا تكونوا عابسين، أفرح الآن بعودتي إليك بعد التوهان، لأستقر في حضنك بعد الضياع، الآن تشتاق نفسي إلى القداسة بعد ان دنست نفسي وجسدي بأفعالي الدنيئة، الآن يتغير إتجاه حياتي ليكون المسيح هدفي ومحور إهتمامي لأن لي الحياة هي المسيح بعد أن كان العالم ولقمة العيش والجسد واللذات والذات والشهرة والمجد الباطل إستولوا عليّ أفقدوني هويتي ومعنى وجودي سلبوا مني فرحتي وتركوني ملقى بين حياً وميت أنتظر سامرياً صالحاً يضمد جراحاتي، تعالى إذاً ياربي يسوع إحملني على منكبيك، أودعني كنيستك المقدسة لأشفى من جراحات نفسي العميقة، أشفى بك وبلمساتك الحانية في كنيستك المقدسة مستشفى التائبين آمين

Consolation of the Sick by Fr. Tadros Malaty - Audiobook by HG Bishop Basil

This is part of the series called "ABBA Give me a WORD".

His Grace shares with us some words from St Eusebius of Caesarea says concerning this treatise:
“A pestilent disease took possession of many provinces of the whole world, and especially Alexandria and Egypt; as Dionysius writes, and the treatise of Cyprian ‘concerning the Mortality’ bears witness.”(1)

Then His Graces shares with some words from St. Cyprian of Carthage’s Treatise 7: On the Mortality, Part 16:
“…beloved brethren, what is it, what a great thing is it, how pertinent, how necessary, that that pestilence and plague which seems horrible and deadly, searches out the righteousness of each one, and examines the minds of the human race, to see (1) whether they who are in health tend the sick; (2) whether relations affectionately love their family; (3) whether masters pity their weakened servants; (4) whether physicians do not forsake the beseeching patients; (5) whether the fierce suppress their violence; (6) whether the greedy can quench the ever insatiable desire of their raging avarice even by the fear of death; (7) whether the arrogant bend their neck; (8) whether the wicked soften their boldness; (9) whether, when their dear ones perish, the rich, even then bestow anything, and give, when they are to die without heirs. (10) Even although this mortality conferred nothing else, it has done this benefit to Christians and to God’s servants, that we begin gladly to desire martyrdom as we learn not to fear death. These are trainings for us, not deaths: they give the mind the glory of fortitude; by contempt of death they prepare for the crown.” (2)
