FEAR NOT

How do people find hope in the face of suffering and death? That is the question

addressed by today’s scriptures. We hear of the suffering of Jeremiah and the psalmist.

We hear of the death that “reigned from Adam to Moses” (Romans 5:14). We hear of the

fears of the Twelve as Jesus sends them out into the world to preach and heal.

Through all this tribulation one message rings out loud and clear—“Do not be

afraid!” The God who saved Jeremiah and the psalmist and Jesus is fully present to save

us through the gracious gift of Jesus Christ. We have nothing and no one to fear. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

THE CATHOLIC ARCHDIOCESE OF GALVESTON– HOUSTON, TEXAS

Staffed by the Josephites since 1948

Rev. Fr. Nixon A. Mullah, SSJ

Pastor

“Fear no one,” Jesus says to the Twelve, as he sends them out “to the lost sheep of the

house of Israel” (Matthew 10:26, 6). This Gospel comes from the middle of his

second great speech in Matthew’s Gospel (Matthew 9:36-10:42), called the missionary

discourse. Jesus is instructing the Twelve on what to do on their mission. Since we

are all called to be evangelizers (“proclaimers”) and witnesses to the gospel, these

words have meaning for us. “Do not be afraid” is often heard in the Gospels. Even

though they are sent to their own people here, there is reason to be afraid, as the

prophet Jeremiah also realized in his day, as his friends turned against him for

preaching God’s word to them. Jesus saw that his followers would suffer, just as he

was going to do. So he encourages his followers not to let fear control them. The God

who watches over sparrows, who knows the number of hairs on our heads, will watch

over us. God sent Jesus to save us, and Jesus promises that if we acknowledge him

before others, he will acknowledge us before the Father.

When have you let fear silence you as a believer?
