May 2025 As is always the case during Easter, we ponder readings from the Acts of the Apostles each Sunday of the season. In a moment in which many people are weighed down by the effects of scandal and polarization in the Church and the growing secularization and pressure to leave active practice of the faith behind, the stories of the early communities of believers may rouse our commitments to be Church in our time. The Easter season is a perfect time to reflect on the incredible love of God and our call to steward the love and hope we have in Christ. May the Lord’s peace and love be with you and all in your community.
