We all have different fears. Some are afraid of their hidden secrets. Some are afraid of getting old. Some are afraid of being inexperienced, because of their youth.
The Lord tells us today, there is no need to be afraid. But peace is not given to us without any conditions. Peace is given to us along with two keys that will open its doors.
The first is forgiveness. Forgiveness, not only in asking forgiveness from God, but forgiveness in terms of forgiving other people. Those who are not ready to ask forgiveness from God will not have peace.And those who are not willing to give forgiveness to other people. They will always be bothered and they will grow even more bitter as they remember the sins of other people that they can't forgive.
The first key to peace, inner peace, is forgiveness.
The second key is sharing. People who think only of themselves will not have peace. People who get and get and get and do not give away will not have peace.
These 2 keys are important for us to attain that single, very important gift which we all need, which is peace.
Let us reflect together on that great mystery. We all have fears, secret fears.
