Tuesday, May 7, 2024:
Jesus said: “My people, you read in the first reading how St. Paul and Silas were beaten with rods and placed in jail. (Acts 16:19-34) A severe earthquake opened the doors to their cells and the chains fell from their hands. They calmed the jailer who took the apostles to his home where he cared for their wounds. The jailer wanted to be saved so St. Paul baptized the jailer’s family into the faith to free them from their sins and saved them for following Me. I bring this same freedom to every soul who wants to be saved in My graces, especially in Confession. In the Gospel I told My apostles that I had to leave them so I could send down the Holy Spirit on them with all of His gifts. Rejoice because My faithful have received the Holy Spirit in Confirmation, and you have the gifts to share My Good News with all of those people whom you will meet.”
