Readings: Acts 3: 11-26; Lk 24: 35-48
“If I do not stand for something I fall for everything.”
In the courageous proclamation of Peter over the cure of a cripple man from birth, we understand that he was able to talk to the people without fear of life and at the same time bore witness to the person, whom he believed in. As we see in the Gospel today Jesus once again appeared before them and talked to them as he did before when he was with them on earth.
What does the resurrected Jesus call us for through his appearance to his beloved disciples? He calls us for a deeper commitment in and through our lives. This commitment in the person of Jesus should lead me to the proclamation of the Person and His message. This is very much evident in the life of Peter, a few days before he denied his association with him. But the moment he experienced the resurrected Christ, stands out and speaks aloud and calls others to believe in him. This is a big task for all of us because if we are touched by God no one could stop us from proclaiming his word.
Prayer: Lord God, give me the gift of perseverance in my effort to follow you and to be your vibrant instrument of peace and love on this earth. Amen
