Look to Him that you may be radiant with joy, and your faces may not blush with shame.
HEART OF JESUS, FOUNTAIN OF LIFE AND HOLINESS,
HAVE MERCY ON US.
I marvel at today's reading from the Acts of the Apostles. It is the account of the Apostles' imprisonment and subsequent release from jail by an angel of the Lord. It is no wonder that those who were jealous of them "were at a loss about them, as to what this would come to" (Acts 5:24). Indeed, anything is possible with God.
You will save us!
From the prison of the narrow mind and the shuttered heart,
-deliver us, O Lord.
(Magnificat, Intercessions, Prayer for the Morning, April 14, 2021)

BLESSED PETER GONZALEZ,
