Hilary of Poitiers, on Matt 11:28
Hilary of Poitiers · c. A.D. 310–367
Matt 11:28 · Douay-Rheims
“Come to me, all you that labour, and are burdened, and I will refresh you.”
On this verse:
“And what is more pleasant than that yoke, what lighter than that burden? To be made better, to abstain from wickedness, to choose the good, and refuse the evil, to love all men, to hate none, to gain eternal things, not to be taken with things present, to be unwilling to do that to another which yourself would be pained to suffer.”
