More Than Many Sparrows

The Memorial of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque brings to mind the great love of Jesus for us expressed in the image of his Sacred Heart, promoted by St. Margaret Mary and her spiritual guide, St. Jean Claude de la Colombiere. In today's Gospel from St. Luke , Jesus gives us these reassuring words: "Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins? Yet not one of them has excaped the notice of God. Even the hairs of your head have all been counted. Do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows." (Lk 12: 6-7) Pope John Paul II reiterated Jesus' words, "Do not be afraid" as his favorite message to the world. Let us proceed into this day with confidence that God's love for each of us will take care of us in all our troubles and fill us with the inner joy that persists and carries us through our daily ups and downs.
A blessed day and weekend,
Bro. Rene
