Diocese of Atambua publishes reflection on fear and faith

The Diocese of Atambua published a reflection by Father Yustus Ati Bere titled "Don't be afraid; because we are precious in the eyes of the Lord."

In the text, Father Bere explains that fear can prevent people from becoming true disciples by making them feel small or unwilling to love and forgive others. He notes that fear often stops individuals from accepting God's grace through their neighbors.

Father Bere uses the biblical example of sparrows to illustrate that if God cares for small creatures, he cares even more for people. He states that because people are precious to God, they have no reason to fear those who can only harm the body, rather than the soul.
