Tobit 3:20-22308
Jesus says:
“I don’t want to weary you very much, for you are exhausted. Just a few words for you and for those prostrated by fear.
“Make the words of Sarah which I have led you to read your own. Make them into thoughts of faith and hope. “My mercy is ready to absolve, provided you turn to it with faith and humility. My goodness is more inclined to free you from evil and misfortune than to leave you in them, if only you do not doubt Me. My wisdom knows how far I can push trials for every single child of mine. If I were to overstep that sign, I would be imprudent, and thus no longer perfect, and thus not God.
“Do not fear, I tell you; do not fear. Believe in Me and in my name.”
