Do not let your hearts be troubled.
But I am often troubled. What do I do? The hope comes from the first reading, where the early Church encounters a problem and innovates. It tells me that in distress I need the community of the Church and the power of the Lord Jesus. For this is what we need to do. Become open to a relationship with Jesus and to be active in His Church.
