Dear Deacon Dinh,
As our Easter Celebration continues we are reminded as to how often fear keeps us from experiencing new life and the joy it brings. This last year, the pandemic exposed our vulnerabilities and increased our anxieties. Even now with the vaccines being rolled out, we find ourselves worrying about what is next. Through all that Jesus appears and says to us, “Do not be troubled, peace be with you.”
To help find that peace, we have Reflection Guides based on the Sunday Gospels that can be used in a group or on your own. We also have Guides especially for families and children. Explore our website to see all our Easter Season Resources.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, when we find ourselves caught up in our fears and worries, open the eyes of our heart to see that you are there. Let your presence and words of comfort soothe our anxieties. Increase our faith to trust that no matter what happens, you are with us at every step in the journey. Turn our fear into joy.
Lord, let your face shine on us.
Also, if you have never experienced the Missionary Discipleship Formation Program now's your chance! Our next one, starting on May 8, is coming up and you can participate online from the comfort of your home. Find out more here!
We are with you in our prayers this Easter Season,
Fr. Alfonso and the Maryknoll Mission Education Team
