In today’s Gospel, Jesus teaches:
"But I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
I have told you this so that you might have peace in me.
In the world you will have trouble,
but take courage, I have conquered the world."
Father Gaspar Selvaraj, C.S.C., shares a short reflection on the holy assurance of God's promises to never abandon nor forsake us, even in the most challenging circumstances.
Jesus walks beside us every day, and when things become the hardest, He carries us. While we may long for God to give us all the answers or to explain why we are in the middle of this storm, we can rest assured in one thing: His promise of his peace and that we are never alone!
