Pope Shenouda III
Jonah
What then is the prophet's work other than the salvation of people? What joy is the prophet's other than joy over people's salvation?
Jonah with this attitude reminds me of the elder son who was displeased and refused to enter the house because his brother had been dead and was alive again; and had been lost and was now found and was received gladly by his father. That elder brother was exceedingly displeased and became angry, exactly like Jonah. He tried with his anger to disturb the rejoicing, exactly like Jonah.
