April 6, 2024 Saturday in the Octave of Easter

Today’s first reading tells of letting Peter go after telling him to stop using the name of Jesus for healing and preaching. How could Peter stop when he was filled with the Holy Spirit? In the gospel, Mark told the accounts of Jesus appearing to Mary Magdalene, Jesus on the road to Emmaus, and then Jesus appearing to the apostles. Jesus rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart at the ones who had seen Him. Jesus told them to go out and PROCLAIM the gospel to every living creature! Amen! Alleluia! We are still in the Easter season. Jesus is risen!
