Saturday 7 April – Octave of Easter

Acts 4:13-21; Ps 118; Mark 16:9-15

Jesus has risen from the dead

Jesus has now appeared three times to his followers. He is cross with them and rebukes them for their unbelief and hardness of heart. He tells them, “Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature.” It is up to them to preach the Good News. We are invited to follow in the footsteps of the disciples by spreading the Good News. Give us courage to do this and pray for those who are actively doing what Jesus wants, especially those in hostile environments.
