He stood in their midst and said to them,
“Peace be with you.” But they were startled and terrified …
(Gospel)

Do not be afraid 
I have shown you 
how to live 

I have shown you
how to pray

I have shown you
how to care
for your brothers
and sisters

why do you worry? 

didn’t I tell you
time and time again
you have a Father
who cares for you 

who understands you

he knows all about 
you 
he even has the hairs 
of 
your head numbered—

counted

J. Janda
