Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.” (JN 14: 27)
One of the most important gifts we received from Our Lord was peace—“peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.” Peace is the gift of salvation, the sign of the bounty of the messianic blessing and a sign of His love for us. “Not letting our hearts be troubled or afraid” helps us to protect our relationship with Him and to be focused on Him, not on our daily life troubles.
“Whoever loves me will keep my word, says the Lord, and my Father will love him and we will come to him.” (Gospel Acclamation)
