Book of the - Courage To Be Afraid-  By Fr. Marie-Dominique Molinié. Fear doesn’t disqualify us from holiness; it can become the very place where grace begins. Fr. Molinié reminds us that courage is not the absence of trembling, but the decision to keep loving, obeying, and trusting God while we tremble. When anxiety rises, we can place our poverty in the Lord’s hands and take the next small, faithful step—prayer, confession, charity, forgiveness. In this way, fear becomes a doorway to humility, and humility opens us to divine strength. If you’ve felt paralyzed by the trials of your family, work, or health, take heart: the Lord asks not for heroics, but for consent to His grace, one moment at a time.

Copies of Courage to Be Afraid are available in the bookstore. Consider reading it with a friend or family member this week and asking: “Where is God inviting me to be brave—right in the middle of my fear?”

Sanctuary Candle Offerings. You may have the sanctuary candle lit for a loved one—living or deceased. A donation of $30 is requested.

Rosary (8:30am Sunday). Our Sunday rosary will be offered
