Wherever I Am, I Am Safe In The Love Of God.
Sometimes the world feels like a scary place. The reasons may differ—conflict in relationships, monetary insufficiency, serious illness—but the feeling is the same. An especially dire circumstance may leave me afraid and in need of spiritual protection. On this day of Holy Week, I contemplate Jesus’ last days and how he took comfort in God’s protection. Jesus understood the events of the world—including his own death—had no lasting power over him. He also knew no matter what might happen to him on the worldly plane, eternal life was his. Like Jesus, I am in the world but not of it. I am eternally safe in the presence and through the power of God.
Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one.—John 17:11
