"Do not be afraid, Mary" (Luke 1:30)

"Do not fear, Mary," [the Angel] says (Luke 1:30).  In fact, there was reason for her to fear, for it was a great burden to bear the weight of the world upon herself, to be the Mother of the universal King, to be the Mother of the Son of God:  what a burden that was!  It was too heavy a burden for human strength to bear!  But the Angel said:  "Do not fear!  Yes, you are carrying God, but God is carrying you.  Do not fear! 
~Pope Benedict XVI, 12/18/05 Homily

Dear Lord, when I am afraid, I will trust in you.  Amen.
