This blog intends to provide readers an opportunity to be nourished by the Word of God. It invites readers to read, reflect and pray the Gospel passage that they will hear during the upcoming Sunday's Liturgy. With the commentaries provided, readers have the possibility of studying and meditating on the Word. Finally, readers are invited to share their reflections, thus creating an on-line lectio divina/faith sharing group, and so sustaining each other in the faith and the love for God's Word.
Last week, we heard Jesus sent the disciples to proclaim, “The Kingdom of God is at hand.”
In the same chapter, Jesus then warns the disciples of opposition and persecution.
But, the Kingdom of God is here, so three times Jesus assures them, “Do not be afraid.”
The Gospel of Matthew ends with Jesus again assuring the disciples, “I am with you always” (28:20).
Jesus is always with us, especially in his words and in the Eucharist.
And to us now, he says, “Do not be afraid.”
