In our reading on Monday, we read how Paul’s discernment leads to a confrontation between the Spirit of Jesus and a false spirit. Yet we can also understand this moment as one of the fresh beginnings of the early church, the becoming-one of Jew and Gentile through God’s grace-that-went-before.

Holy Jesus, we invite your life-giving Spirit to fill and empower our whole being. We pray that your Spirit shall connect with our spirit. Amen.

Resumen de la Escritura

How did you first hear about the gospel? Was it from your family or a friend? Or was it from a completely unexpected source? This week’s readings remind us that God uses many different techniques of revelation. Paul and Silas are in prison in Philippi, and the guard of the prison has no idea that he is about to encounter the power of God and come to faith. The psalmist says that creation itself reveals God’s glory and power. In Revelation, Jesus speaks directly about his future return and reign, as attested by his messenger and by the Spirit. Jesus prays in John for his followers, because through their unity the gospel will be proclaimed to others. Although Jesus ascends to heaven, the revelation of his plan and purpose does not end.
