Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Matthew 10:26-33In today's gospel of seven verses, Jesus tells us three times not to be afraid. This is a struggle for many of us. Worries come in many forms, from making us a little nervous, to the extent of paralyzing fear. We need to trust in Jesus. Go to Him. Lean on Him.
The phrase "Do not be afraid" appears 365 times in the Bible, one for each day of the year. Trust in the Lord. There is nothing that gives Him more joy.
