Homily for the Memorial of Saint John Bosco For many of us, there would not be a single day that passes by that we do not worry about big and even those little, unimportant things. So much so that if we do not worry, we would think it's almost inhuman. When we connect this to what St. Paul instructs us in Philippians 4:6, we come to understand that Paul is talking about the peace that comes from the God who is never subject to anxiety because He is the sovereign, omnipotent Creator and Lord of the universe. Nothing takes Him by surprise or makes Him bite His nails, wondering how it will turn out. This is the peace that Jesus promised, “not as the world gives.” It is humanly not explainable. But, praise God, it is real, and every child of God has known it and has known that it comes from God alone, not from psychological insights. Today, have no anxiety at all and know that in the joy of the Lord, our strength will come.
