"Fear no one" (Mt 10:26), Jesus tells us. Be bold and strong. It takes a lot of energy to be afraid and anxious. "So do not be afraid" (Mt 10:31). However, since it is not so easy to allay our fears and anxieties, we sing with the psalmist: In your great love, answer me, O God; with your help, that never fails (Ps 69).
In this Sunday's Gospel Jesus invites us not to be afraid, to be strong and confident in the face of life's challenges, because even when we encounter setbacks, our lives rest firmly in God's hands, who loves us and takes care of us.
