Friday of the Twenty-eighth Week in Ordinary Time
Gospel text
Lk 12:1-7
Lk 12:1-7
So many people were crowding together... Jesus began to speak "I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body but after that can do no more... Even the hairs of your head have all been counted. Do not be afraid...
Gospel's Commentary
Today Jesus wants to give us peace and hope. He knows that there will be difficulties in our lives, even to the point of encountering some of “those who kill the body,” that is, people who may mistreat or despise us. Jesus encourages us: “Do not be afraid; they can do no more.”
—They can do no more because the risen God is always present. And because He lives risen forever, not one of us is forgotten by Him. You do not know how many hairs are on your head; Jesus does!
