Fear not, little flock

Thursday August 16th, Luke 12: 32 "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Don’t be afraid, fear not, common precursors to Holy announcements. It is fear that keeps us from seeing the kingdom among us. It is fear that allows us to separate ourselves into different factions and groups and decide theories and formulas for just and unjust wars and jihads. It is fear that keeps us from fully trusting in God, thinking we need to run the show a bit more ourselves. It is fear that keeps us from reaching out boldly and truly living as the children of God. Into the is world, the message comes, Don’t be afraid little flock, for the Father is, and has been, pleased to give you the kingdom.
