Courage in Christ | 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time Friarly

    • Christianity

Our country and our world seem to be swimming in fear these days. Fears and anxieties are all around us, demanding our attention and it is in the midst of this noise that Jesus whispers in our hearts:

Fear no one. 

We are called not to be a People of fear but a People of God who live in hope. By trusting in Jesus Christ, Emmanuel, we are able to let God transform our fear into courage and we in turn become the intimate friends and preachers of God. The perfect love of God casts out our fear forever.

What do you fear? What courage are you being called to today? Not tomorrow, today.

For the Sunday Readings, see the USCCB for June 21.
