Today's gospel reading is so powerful, and in a world where so many things bombard a person (not only the TV and Internet, but sometimes friends, acquaintances, enemies, family members too) its inevitable we sometimes fall short (of expectations), or fall apart.
Jesus said,
(paraphrased) There is absolutely no reason to be fearful and no need to rehearse what you might say.
“I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute.”
That's really powerful and meaningful to me. Think about it: if his words are true, there is so much that we are holding on to, our baggage, our burdens, that doesn't need to be hanging around.
I believe he speaks from the heart of Wisdom, that he himself wants to give each of us this wisdom if only we ask, and trust.
