In our reading from the 10th chapter of Matthew's Gospel on the weekend of 21 June 2026, Jesus states three times that we are not to be afraid. But often, we can be afraid on our journey of faith. Here is a prayer that addresses those fears that was inspired by the spirit of St Therese, the little flower:
Dear Father: My heart and mind are flooded with fears. Sometimes I am paralyzed, I feel unable to go on. These fears are overwhelming, they remain with me day and night. Yet I hold onto your truth. You have told us not to fear, for you have overcome the world. So I cling to you, I trust in your promises, that you will never fail me, never forsake me. In moments of such crippling fear, I choose to hold your hand. I know you have experienced the most fearful places, I know that you have risen again. In you all promises meet and new life begins. You are my Savior, I hide in you, protected by your love, and sheltered by your grace. My Father. Amen.
