From today’s Scripture: “Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went away quickly from the tomb, fearful yet overjoyed…Then Jesus said to them ‘Do not be afraid. Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.’”—Mt 28:8, 10

Do not be afraid; easy to say, but hard to do. In a fast paced and changing world, we often can be afraid. With so much information and misinformation right at our fingertips, when we are stressed and scared, we can hold tightly to Jesus’ words: Do not be afraid.

Let us pray: Loving God, give me the courage to meet the challenges of the day with a sure and certain hope in the resurrection and not be afraid of the numerous new challenges I will face today.
