Today’s Reflection

Although the book of Acts is often called “The Acts of the Apostles,” it could just as easily be called “The Acts of the Holy Spirit.” The Holy Spirit is the real star of the show.

Today’s Scripture

When the disciples saw the Lord, they were filled with joy. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father sent me, so I am sending you.” Then he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven; if you don’t forgive them, they aren’t forgiven.”—John 20:20–23 (CEB)
