Good News

Your endurance will win you your lives.
Lk.21:19

Jesus has just prophesied bad news to his disciples. Persecution and betrayal is coming. But he ends with good news... your endurance will win your lives.

No matter how dire the situation, there is always good news. Dear friends have just received bad news for one of them from their doctor. In their own words, it has rocked them. However, they are believers which means the good news in today's gospel is still theirs to hold on to. 

Thank you Jesus for giving my friends, and me, good news to hope for today. I place my trust in you.
