Living the Gospel: “Arise and do not be afraid” (Mt 17: 7)

An invitation that echoes the Resurrection and opens the way to a new life based not on our own strength, but on the grace of God who conquers every fear. Even in difficulties and crises, the love of Christ is present and, if lived in communion with others, is capable of giving even greater courage and hope to begin again.
