Perfect love casts out fear.

O peaceful Sea, eternal Trinity!
The water of this sea is never turbid; it never causes fear,
but gives knowledge of the truth.

 
St. Catherine of Siena, 14th century

 
 
  Word of God  
 
I sought the Lord and he answered me,
and delivered me from all my fears.
Psalm 34:4
 


God's help is available to those who seek it from their heart,
humbly and devoutly.

 
St. Bonaventure, 13th century

 
 
  Word of God  
 
There is no fear in love,
but perfect love casts out fear;
one who fears is not yet perfect in love.
1 John 4:18
 


The mind which is bound by the bondage of fear
does not know the grace of liberty.
Good should be loved for itself,
not pursued because of the compulsion of penalties.

 
St. Gregory the Great, 6th century
