Thanks for posting…

There is a very ancient saying…

“Those who fear death cannot enjoy life”

One thing I see happening recently is many people letting their fear run away with them…instead of embracing the reality that no-one gets out alive.

Thankfully, we should not fear the sting of death…

Lord Jesus Christ,

who said to your Apostles

Peace I leave you, my peace I give you;

Look not on our sins,

But on the faith of your Church,

And graciously grant her peace and unity

in accordance with your will.

Who live and reign for ever and ever.

AMEN!

The peace of the Lord be with you always.
