Anxiety hates clarity. It thrives in vague fears, worst-case scenarios, and the thoughts we keep trapped in our minds until they start to feel like monsters.
In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus tells us not to be afraid because He is with us. He knows every fear, every anxious thought, and every hidden place in our hearts, and with Him, there is clarity and peace. One simple step is to bring those fears into the light: write them down, name the worst-case scenario, and let Jesus meet you there. He is the way, the truth, and the life. Being in His presence is where anxiety begins to lose its grip.

Obedient To Jesus
By location, being in two places at once. You know who could do that? Kill me. Padre Pio, reading other People’s Souls. You know who could do that? Who? Padre Pio. Loving Jesus with his whole heart. Who could that be? Yeah, you guessed it. Padre Pio. Pope Benedict the 16th set about Padre Pio.

Guard Your Time Well
