Fearless with the Armour of God
Thursday, 30th week in Ordinary Time
Eph 6: 10-20; Lk 13: 31-35
Even those who act and show themselves as bold and courageous at times of slight troubles betray their fear and trembling. Moments like disease, debts and difficulties lead people to despair when they lack firmness in faith.
Jesus was fearless, as all prophets always were! The prophets' fearlessness came from the fact the Lord was with them. They felt guarded by the armour of God, the armour that Paul enumerates today.
The call is clear today: to live fearlessly in the Lord, with the armour that the Lord provides.
