Tuesday of the Fifth Week of Easter April 26, 2005 Scripture: Acts 14:19-28; John 14:27-31 Reflection: Paul and Barnabas had their problems as they traveled around spreading God’s word. They were stoned, dragged out of town, and left there for dead. Despite all that, they continued to build the church and spread the good word. What do we do as we go to our ministry each day? Do we experience the peace that John speaks of, which the world cannot give? It will not always be easy; at times we may not understand…. But whatever we do, we can be building the Church in our day. Suggested Action: Give the gift of peace today in your way of meeting co-workers, students, colleagues, strangers, and others. Sr. Maureen Schrimpe, IHM Silver Spring, Maryland
