Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Fidelity & Courage in Faith”: Jesus proclaimed to the Twelve Apostles. They should never fear those who can kill the body, but not destroy their soul, for hell. We are all precious children of God our Father. His Love for us is Everlasting. Ponder on, “Do we live in the fear of illness, pain and death or do we focus on loving, praising and serving God our Father?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Matthew 10:28-33
Jesus instructed the Twelve as follows: ‘Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; fear him rather who can destroy both body and soul in hell. Can you not buy two sparrows for a penny? And yet not one falls to the ground without your Father knowing. Why, every hair on your head has been counted. So there is no need to be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
‘So if anyone declares himself for me in the presence of human beings, I will declare myself for him in the presence of my Father in heaven. But the one who disowns me in the presence of human beings, I will disown in the presence of my Father in heaven.’
