Peter’s Trusting the Lord Who Rose From the Dead

Peter’s Trusting the Lord Who Rose From the Dead

The  Holy Spirit is present throughout the Easter season’s readings.

The Easter season begins on Easter and ends with Pentecost Sunday. Pentecost is part of the Easter season . . . and marks the end of the season. It is not a separate celebration. There is a connection between the Resurrection of the Lord (His Victory on The Cross) and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on His Church on Pentecost Sunday. Together, they form a unified mystery. Hear more within the Homily.

In today’s Gospel we hear that Jesus does not ration the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Why would He ration? What does that statement really mean? Hear more within the Homily.

In the first reading (not included within this audio) we hear the religious leaders once again bring the disciples to the court. This takes place after Peter’s miraculous freedom from the jail with the help of an angel. The court once again threatens them for speaking in the name of Jesus.

Peter says to the court that you place me in an interesting spot. I either listen to the court because of your threat, or I keep trusting the Lord who rose from the dead. Note how powerful this idea is as Peter converses with the religious leaders.
