Let not your hearts be troubled
Tuesday, 5th week of Easter
Acts 14: 19-28; Jn 14: 27-31
You will have enemies in abundance, yet let not your hearts be troubled. There will be opposition from every side, yet let not your hearts be troubled. People may plot and contrive against you, yet let not your hearts be troubled. Being untroubled amidst all troubles- the disciples had perfectly understood what the Lord had said... they were unmoved in the face of all persecutions because they had something that the world could not give.
Peace, a peace that the Lord alone can give. A peace that no one can take away. A peace that shines amidst darkness. A peace that does not arise from compromise and convenience but from conviction and commitment. A peace that is a result of truth and integrity. A peace that is not an external silence but an internal tranquillity. A peace for which it is worth even giving up our life.
The key to grow towards it is, not to let our hearts be troubled!
