"Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom" (Luke 12:32).
Jesus tells his disciples not to fear but to sell their possessions and give alms, keeping their lamps lit and staying alert like servants awaiting their master's return from a wedding feast.
