Today, we celebrate that God can build His Church through very different people united by one faith. The story of Saint Peter and Saint Paul reminds us that holiness does not require perfect personalities, but faithful hearts willing to serve.

No darkness is stronger than the authority of Christ. The growing attention given to exorcism in the Church today reminds us that evil is real, but God’s power remains greater and victorious.

Fear does not have the final word when Christ remains in the boat with us. The courage of the First Martyrs of Rome and the frightened disciples in the storm reminds us that faith grows strongest during moments of danger and uncertainty.

Reflect, today, upon this powerful resurrection appearance. As you do, ponder whether or not you have allowed our Lord to speak to you in the same way that He did to these disciples, and whether or not you have truly internalized all that He has spoken to you and explained to you.
Reflect, today, upon these disciples and their need to reflect upon the Word of God so as to understand, believe and have their eyes opened. Know that you need this same grace.
Reflect, today, upon these words Jesus spoke to Mary: “Stop holding on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father.” But do so with the knowledge that, now, Jesus has indeed ascended to the Father.
Reflect, today, upon these chief priests and elders of the people. Try to ponder their hardness of heart and the sad situation they found themselves in as they attempted to cover up their error and sin. Resolve never to fall into this form of sin yourself.
