Praise the name of the Lord, for His name alone is exalted.
BEHOLD, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, EVEN TO THE END OF THE AGE, ALLELUIA.
(Communion Antiphon, Mass)
There is so much good news in these accounts from the Acts of Apostles. The last lines of today's passage cause to me to join the psalmist and Sing to the Lord a new song, for He has done wondrous deeds (Ps 98). Why? Because we learn from the reading that "Crispus, the synagogue official, came to believe in the Lord along with his entire household, and many of the Corinthians who heard believed and were baptized"! (Acts 18:8). May we, like Paul, Silas, Timothy, and their friends Aquila, Priscilla, and Titus Justus, witness to the wondrous deeds of the Lord. What is one thing you will do today to witness to the wondrous deeds of the Lord?
OUR LADY OF FATIMA,
SAINT ERCONWALD,
BLESSED IMELDA LAMBERTINI,
POPE SAINT JOHN PAUL II,
SAINT JOSEPH, HOPE OF THE SICK,
MARY, HEALTH OF THE SICK,
PRAY FOR US.
