“Do not be afraid”

The above phrase appears many times in the Bible, reminding us that our God is by our side, our source of strength and hope.
In the first reading, we see Jeremiah, despite his difficulties, standing firm: “the Lord is at my side, a mighty hero”. In the Gospel, we see Jesus assuring his disciples that “there is no need to be afraid”. His presence is always near, and he holds us in great love and compassion.
In the words of the psalm:
“In your great love, answer me, O’God,
with your help that never fails:
Lord, answer, for your love is kind;
in your compassion, turn towards me”.
