"Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and they asked Peter and the other apostles, "What are we to do, my brothers?" Peter [said] to them, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the holy Spirit." Acts 2:37-38
Can you picture yourself being in the crowd listening to Peter knowing you may have been one of them that yelled out "crucify Him". Now Peter is testifying to them and they are feeling the guilt and pain of their actions. Peter gives them the salvation from Jesus if they accept his words. These words ring true today, it is Jesus speaking and offering His salvation. "Repent and be baptized every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the holy Spirit." Come Holy Spirit and renew the face of the earth.
Dear Lord God, Your words speak truth, we are not to condemn but offer forgiveness and hope. May my actions be that of Peter today, shinning the light of Christ into a world that yells crucify You but wants forgiveness. Lift up our spirits Lord and bless this day. I love You and adore You because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the World. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Full of Grace, pray for us.
