Resumen de la Escritura

This week’s readings open with a confrontation in Acts between Peter and John and some of the religious leaders. Peter speaks in harsh terms to the leaders, stating that they had killed Jesus; yet by the power of Jesus’ name, a man who could not walk has been healed. By that same name spiritual healing happens as well. The other three passages employ the metaphor of the Good Shepherd. “The Lord is my shepherd,” the psalmist declares, and the shepherd cares for all our needs. In John’s Gospel, Jesus declares that he is the Good Shepherd who lays down his life for his sheep. First John repeats this imagery. Jesus proved his love when he lay down his life for us. If we truly love one another, we also ought to sacrifice in tangible ways

Jesus the Good Shepherd is a shepherd of second chances, as evidenced in today’s scripture reading. The setting in which Peter and John find themselves is reminiscent of Jesus’ earlier inquest by the Sanhedrin. (See Matthew 26:57-67.) The high priest and others are questioning the authority and power by which...

Come, Holy Spirit, empower me this week to seek your truth and guidance within life’s second chances. Amen.
