FRIDAY OF THE SIXT WEEK OF EASTER - 2022

DAILY HOLY MASS READINGS

Christ has risen, he who created all things,
and has granted his mercy to men.

ACTS 18:9-18 ©

My Soul's Beloved,

When we have Your assurance that no harm will come to us because we are under Your mighty protection, then we will speak the truth boldly and with courage.

You do not tell Paul that wherever he went on his apostolic journey that he would not meet with hardship, persecution, cold and cruel rejection, and suffering. But in this particular place in Corinth, You assure him that he will be able to carry out his mission in relative peace and no one would even attempt to hurt him. 

The Jews though continued to instigate the authorities against Paul because of their envy of him and the number of their own people who came to believe in You through his work of evangelizing. But their attempts to haul Paul before the Roman proconsul came to nothing. Paul continued to preach and teach until it was time for him to move on.

When we are faithful Lord, You are even more faithful. You will keep us safe in Your love and even if we have to face persecution for the sake of the Gospel we will experience great peace and joy that nothing and no one can take away from us.
