St. Alexander
Jesus said to his disciples, "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father's house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be. Where (I) am going you know the way." Thomas said to him, "Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?" Jesus said to him, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14: 1-6).
Fear and worry are some of the most common human “activities.” And what do fear and worry produce? Nothing, nothing good at least. Christ tells us very clearly to trust in Him. Find what you are most fearful of and talk to Christ about it and ask Him for the great strength to trust.
Mary, God gave you a very difficult mission to be his mother. Still you were not afraid, you trusted in God. Help me to follow your example. No fear!
