Words for Holy Week Wisdom....
This week above all puts us on trial as we walk the way of the cross
and feel the fear that Jesus must have known.
Do not fear what may happen tomorrow. The same loving Father who
cares for you today will care for you tomorrow and everyday. Either he will
shield you from suffering or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be
at peace then and put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginings.
St. Francis de Sales, 1567-1622

What is the most often stated assurance in the Bible--"fear not!" Some would say that everyday is a tightrope balancing act. It is, when left to yourself. When given to God, your eyes look up, not down and the passage from one side to the other is far easier. Bonhoeffer even said you can drive a truck across the yawning chasm. An for God, that's not much either!
