"Quietly my child, your mother is by you."
People tend to be loud when they are fearful. A mother is a sign of comfort and safety. Here the author is saying to not me afraid because there is hope and comfort on the way.
"Have no doubt it is fear now..."
This is saying that people are afraid. Some because of what is going on around them and others because of what they have done in life and what will happen to their eaternal soul.
