Any good writings by Saints against fear?

[Crimson_Soldier]

I trying to overcome my anxiety situation and was wondering if there are any good writings by saints I can read to help me. Could someone help?

No. I mean, yes, somebody, and many most certainly will help you. But me, as far as saints are concerned…No.

But! Please remember what the Angels always say, whereever they go!

“FEAR NOT!”***

If you could name your fear, it might be easier. Fear of failure, I think we can agree, is a ways different from a fear of hights, or spiders. shudder

 

[Eucharisted]

“Do not be afraid!” - Jesus

“Be at peace, I AM!” - Jesus

“Pray, hope, and don’t. Anxiety is useless.” - St. Padre Pio

“Don’t be afraid!” - Pope John Paul II

“The Christian heart has no room for fear.” - a saint

I trying to overcome my anxiety situation and was wondering if there are any good writings by saints I can read to help me. Could someone help?

I know that “fear not” appears in the Bible MANY times. One verse I love is Jeremiah 29:11, which helps a lot when I get nervous about things:

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.”
~Jeremiah 29:11

The following are all from the Diary of St. Faustina, which recalls Jesus’ words to St. Faustina for all of us:

“In the evening, Jesus gave me the subject for meditation. At the first moment, my heart was filled with fear and joy. Then I pressed myself close to His Heart, and the fear vanished; only joy remained. I felt entirely like a child of God, and the Lord said… ‘Fear nothing…Before I made the world, I loved you with the love your heart is experiencing today and, throughout the centuries, My love will never change.’”

From the Conversation of the Merciful God with a Despairing Soul:
Jesus: What joy fills My Heart when you return to Me. Because you are weak, I take you in My arms and carry you to the home of My Father.
Soul: (as if awakening, asks fearfully): Is it possible that there is yet mercy for me?
Jesus: There is, My child. You have a special claim on My mercy. Let it act in your poor soul; let the rays of grace enter your soul; they bring with them light, warmth, and life.
Soul: But fear fills me at the thought of my sins, and this terrible fear moves me to doubt Your goodness.
Jesus: My child, all your sins have not wounded My Heart as painfully as your present lack of trust does - that after so many efforts of My love and mercy, you should still doubt My goodness…Tell Me all, My child, hide nothing from Me because My loving Heart, the Heart of Your Best Friend is listening to you."

I hope these help. :hug1:

Well these two are not written by Catholic saints but, according to the famous late Catholic priest, Father Richard John Neuhaus, they are books of “brilliance, tenderness, and uncommon sense”.

Both take up the theme of fear in discussing hope and love:
