Jesus teaches us how to Pray.
The ‘Our Father’ is such a simple and powerful prayer that we can lose sight of just how profound and full of depth its meaning truly is. It is a good idea to just stop regularly and take time to reflect and ponder over its incredible depth of meaning and to ponder slowly each phrase, word even, during an extended time of quiet prayer.
We ask God to take our Fear.
We ask God to take away our fear, knowing of his love for us. We should always realize Jesus wants to be part of the solution to problems despite our weaknesses. Let us take him up on his offer.

Mission, joy and peace
It’s a great reminder that success in spreading the good news isn’t measured by results or recognition, but by faithfulness. Being known and loved by God is our deepest joy. Sometimes we need reminding that we don’t have to earn God’s approval, his love is already given.
The Feast of SS Peter and Paul
This a Feast about the foundation and early spread of the Church but it is not just a commemoration and thanksgiving for that. It is also a reminder and celebration of how the Church always works – through the institutional hierarchy and though the charism of the Holy Spirit given to individuals to meet the needs of the changing world.
