You don’t have to be paralyzed by fear. You can acknowledge your fear, that it exists, but then act with courage. Where does the courage come from? It comes from love. And love comes from within the heart. Fear is an emotion. It can come and go. We don’t control it, but then we don’t have to let it control us. Meditation is a way to fill the heart with spiritual muscle so we can then act. Courage is the response to the spiritual practice. The inner life practice can calm us. It sure beats oblivion, a short term solution.
The homilies and musings of a Paulist Priest.

I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!
