fear out of Love.


Taking a child, he placed it in their midst, and putting his arms around it, he said to them, “Whoever receives one child such as this in my name, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but the One who sent me.” Mk 9:30-37


44 members of the United States Senate voted against legislation that would have guaranteed medical care to babies who survive attempted abortions. We must pray and offer reparation for their souls.


The Lord tells us how to move forward: Sir 2:1-11

My son, when you come to serve the LORD, stand in justice and fear, prepare yourself for trials. Be sincere of heart and steadfast, incline your ear and receive the word of understanding, undisturbed in time of adversity. Wait on God, with patience, cling to him, forsake him not; thus will you be wise in all your ways. Accept whatever befalls you, when sorrowful, be steadfast, and in crushing misfortune be patient; For in fire gold and silver are tested, and worthy people in the crucible of humiliation. Trust God and God will help you; trust in Him, and He will direct your way; keep His fear and grow old therein. You who fear the LORD, wait for His mercy, turn not away lest you fall. You who fear the LORD, trust Him, and your reward will not be lost. You who fear the LORD, hope for good things, for lasting joy and mercy. You who fear the LORD, love Him, and your hearts will be enlightened. Study the generations long past and understand; has anyone hoped in the LORD and been disappointed? Has anyone persevered in His commandments and been forsaken? Has anyone called upon Him and been rebuffed? Compassionate and merciful is the LORD; He forgives sins, He saves in time of trouble and He is a protector to all who seek Him in truth.


Catholic Encyclopedia, explains that the gift of Fear of the Lord "fills us with a sovereign respect for God, and makes us dread, above all things, to offend Him."


Do not fear as the world fears, fear out of Love.


"Has anyone persevered in His commandments and been forsaken? AMEN
