Matthew 10:17-22
A reflection on today's Sacred Scripture
"Do not worry about how you are to speak
or what you are to say." (Matthew 10:19)
We do not face nearly the penalties that faced the early martyrs, and yet we are so often fearful. We don't know what to say. We are fearful of offending and hurting.
Leave it to God!
He knows what you should say and He will tell you as you need it. He will let the words come to you as they are needed. You will speak healing and those who hear you shall receive it.
Trust God, mighty in all works and full of deep compassion and love.
