Do not fear or be disturbed

"Who can harm you if you devote yourselves to doing good? If you suffer for the sake of righteousness, happy are you. Do not fear what they fear or be disturbed as they are, but bless the Lord Christ in your hearts. Always have an answer ready when you are called upon to account for your hope, but give it simply and with respect. Keep your conscience clear so that those who slander you may be put to shame by your upright, Christian living. Better to suffer for doing good, if it is God's will, than for doing wrong." (1Pt 3:13-17)

"Given that Christ suffered in His human life, arm yourselves with this certainty: the one who suffers in his body has broken with sin so as to spend the rest of his life following the will of God and not human passions." (1Pt 4:1-2)

"The end of all things is near; keep your minds calm and sober for prayer. Above all, let your love for one another be sincere, for love covers a multitude of sins. Welcome one another into your houses without complaining. Serve one another with the gifts each of you received, this becoming good managers of the varied graces of God. If you speak, deliver the word of God; if you have a special ministry, let it be seen as God's power so that, in everything, God may be glorified in Jesus Christ. To Him belong glory and power forever and ever. Amen." (1Pt 4:7-11)

Praise God for St. Peter...for Scripture...for faith...for hope...for love.
