"Cast Your Burden on Me"
written by Prasad Mathew, February 08, 2012

Oppressed human being are, most of the times, of one's life. Even Orthodox Christians would not have realised that; the relief from oppression, is as readily available as; Simeon the Theologian was saying all through; since this jewel of his words was written down first. And Fr. John has profoundly detailed it, that just the listening to this piece of the Saint's words relieves one of negativity.
Thankyou Fr. John
