The Focolare Movement, a global Catholic organization focused on unity and dialogue, publishes Living City magazine. The March/April issue features this piece in which the director of the C21 Center, Karen Kiefer, reflects on the line from Matthew's Gospel, "Get up and do not be afraid." Karen connects this line to a time of uncertainty in her life and the encouragement her father gave her that helped her to see things in a new light.

Read “Get up and do not be afraid” (Matthew 17:7)
