Troubled Hearts
Don't let your hearts be troubled. Really Jesus? That's how you're going to start this conversation. It seems like a pretty tall order, what with being in the middle of a pandemic. After all, lives are being threatened, our economy is collapsing, every day the death toll rises, and Jesus starts our Gospel reading with these words, "Do not let your hearts be troubled." Jesus has a message for our troubled hearts as he addresses the fear, anger, and anxiety that occupy the disciples. If your heart is troubled, there is a message of Good News for you.
