The reading from the Acts of the Apostles reminds us that
we, too, bear witness to the risen Lord. The presence
of Christ is within us, making us new, transforming us,
turning us into stewards of the Good News. There is no
more time for holding grudges, disliking others, seeking
vengeance, maintaining old prejudices, tolerating bias.
We are Christ’s joy and instruments of his peace. Our
world is reordered. Reflect on how we are called to let
Christ’s forgiveness, reconciliation and love per¬meate
our lives. We are Easter people. Rejoice! He is risen!
Alleluia!
