WHAT KEEPS YOU AT WAKE AT NIGHT?
IS YOUR HEART TROUBLED BY ANYTHING?
"Jesus said to his disciples:
“Do not let your hearts be troubled.
"You have faith in God; have faith also in me.
In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places.
If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be.
Where I am going you know the way.”
"Thomas said to him, “Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?”
"Jesus said to him, “I am the way and the truth and the life."
No one comes to the Father except through me.”
If you know me, then you will also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
Philip said to him, “Master, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.”
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time and you still do not know me, Philip?
Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.
How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own.
The Father who dwells in me is doing his works.
Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else, believe because of the works themselves.
Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes in me will do the works that I do, and will do greater ones than these, because I am going to the Father.
And whatever you ask in my name, I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it."
(John 14: 1 - 12).

"DO NOT LET YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED."
What makes your heart troubled?
Health and money issues? Job and fear of losing your possessions? Discordant family?
War and terrorism? Immigration and fear of losing your country?
Whatever makes your heart troubled and keeps you awake at night, Jesus has a healing word for you today.
"DO NOT LET YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED."
By Anything!!!
Jesus says to the Apostle Paul when his heart was troubled by severe trials and temptations:
"My grace is sufficient for you. Power is made perfect in weakness." (2 Corinthians 12: 9).
Pray over this Scripture. Ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten you.
Can you take the above advice of Jesus to Paul?
When the disciples saw Jesus walking on the sea towards their boat, they believed they were seeing a ghost. Jesus said to them:
"It is I. Do not be afraid."
Can you accept and recognize the above word of Jesus as true?
Now think of this. Jesus gave us everything we have. Jesus can take any of what He has given us anytime whether we like it or not. Why then do we let our hearts be troubled over this or that matter?
Consider and believe this promise of Jesus Christ once and for all!
"Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and God will give you everything you need." (Cf Matthew 6: 33).
After all, God knows exactly what you need and when you need it.
The Church dedicates the whole of May in honoring the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Humble Maid of Nazareth.
“Jesus cannot be understood without His Mother.” — Pope Francis.
“Mary remains ever the path that leads to Christ. Every encounter with her can only result in an encounter with Christ himself.” — Pope Paul VI.
