I was grabbing my scapular as I was reading this and told myself that on this day, I shall hide behind our Lady’s mantle.
Well I’m not afraid. I’m sure I will be overcome with awe, love, amazement, a thousand emotions. Maybe I’ll dance, maybe I’ll sing, maybe I’ll fall to the ground in worship. But He has forgiven me and my sins are as far away from Him as the east is from the west, so I don’t need to fear. I belong to Him!
Mary's last recorded words were “Whatever He says to you, do it” (John 2:3-5, NASB)I think that is excellent advice and so I am trying to learn all I can about what Jesus said. And since I have direct access to His words, that's the place I go.
If you need to hide, there will be nothing mighty enough to hide behind.
If you belong to Him you have nothing to fear.
