12th Sunday in Ordinary Time                                  19 June 2005

Today’s Readings: The followers of Christ must have courage at all times. Christ has promised support in time of trial. Death and imprisonment for Christ are realities for many Christians. The erosion of faith and the dechristianising of values can also be frightening. But Jesus says to all: “Be not afraid.”
