Acts 14: 19-28, Ps. 145, John 14:27-31

Faith and Peace

The reading from the Acts of the Apostles is almost like a geography lesson. Twelve towns or regions are mentioned in Paul and Barnabas’ missionary journey which “had opened the door of faith to the pagans.” Remember missionaries in many lands today. Missionaries, in Jesus’ name, endeavour to give and implant the peace the world cannot give: Jesus’ gift that our hearts be not troubled or afraid.

Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us.
