“Do not be afraid.” How good it is for someone who is worried to hear those words from Jesus. Jesus knew we needed to hear those words. “Do not be afraid.” Jesus, who was human as well as divine, knew that some of us need to be reminded again and again not to worry. So many times in the Gospels we hear Jesus asking us not to worry. Three times in today’s Gospel we hear Jesus saying, “Do not be afraid.” The reason why Jesus tells us these words is that the Heavenly Father has great concern for us all. He knows us well, our person, our wellbeing, our needs. Prophet Jeremiah tells us to expel from our mind all fear and worry because God is with us and he will protect us from all evil. He invites us, therefore, to commit our cause to God. At the same time, St Paul tells us that the grace of God is great and it is a free gift given to us in and through Jesus. That is the reason why we do not have any reason to worry or fear. Hence the central theme of today’s reading is that we should expel all fear and anxiety from our minds by cherishing unshakable confidence in the never-failing providence of God.

Fr. Albert Francis Kanjirathumkal HGN

"No tengas miedo." Qué bueno es para alguien que está preocupado escuchar esas palabras de Jesús. Jesús sabía que necesitábamos escuchar esas palabras. "No tengas miedo." Jesús, que era tanto humano como divino, sabía que algunos de nosotros necesitamos ser recordados una y otra vez que no nos preocupemos. Tantas veces en los Evangelios escuchamos a Jesús pidiéndonos que no nos preocupemos. Tres veces en el Evangelio de hoy oímos a Jesús decir: "No tengas miedo". La razón por la que Jesús nos dice estas palabras es que el Padre Celestial tiene gran preocupación por todos nosotros. Nos conoce bien, nuestra persona, nuestro bienestar, nuestras necesidades. El profeta Jeremías nos dice que expulsemos de nuestra mente todo temor y preocupación porque Dios está con nosotros y nos protegerá de todo mal. Nos invita, por lo tanto, a comprometer nuestra causa a Dios. Al mismo tiempo, san Pablo nos dice que la gracia de Dios es grande y es un don gratuito que se nos ha dado en Jesús y a través de él. Esa es la razón por la que no tenemos ninguna razón para preocuparnos o temer. Por lo tanto, el tema central de la lectura de hoy es que debemos expulsar todo temor y ansiedad de nuestra mente atesorando la inquebrantable confianza en la incesante providencia de Dios.

Mass Schedule

The Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus I believe that You are present in the Most

Blesses Sacrament. I love You above all things and I

desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot

receive You sacramentally, come at lease spiritually

into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already

there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit

me to be separated from You.

-Amen

- AMEN El Acto de Comunión Espiritual

Jesús mío, creo firmemente que estas en el santísimo

Sacramento del altar. Te amo sobre todas las cosas y

deseo tenerte en mi alma. Ya que ahora no puedo

recibirte sacramentalmente, ven por lo menos

espiritualmente a mi corazón, Como si ya hubieses

venido, te abrazo y me uno todo a ti: no permitas que

jamás me aparte de ti. -Amen
