Then Jesus said to them, ‘Do not be afraid'.
Mt.28:10
First the Angel in the empty tomb then the risen Jesus has a primary message for the women. Do not be afraid.
Fear stifles action and Jesus wants action from his disciples. "Go Tell" he says to the Church, he says to me. In the first reading today we see Peter the sandpile transform into Peter the rock at Pentecost. Fear has left him.
Also, the absence of fear gives room for peace. I desire the peace that Jesus gives, a peace beyond understanding.
Thank you Jesus for the peace you give me today.
