Acts 14: 19-28; Psalm 145; John 14:27-31

My peace I give

Love and peace will rule. In the first reading, the apostles have begun to spread the word to the gentiles. The Jewish hierarchy is jealous and violent. So, the message is taken to those willing to listen. In the second reading Jesus advises his followers they should welcome love and peace. They'll need it when Satan appears to gain victory with Jesus' death. Then the huge surprise. The Resurrection. Such love and peace would be manifest in the new Christ.
