Wednesday of the 2nd week of Eastertide
First reading – Acts 5:17-26
This episode of liberating the apostles at night from the prison can be understood in the light of the liberation which Jesus Christ brought to us with His resurrection. The goal was securely locked, and the guards were vigilantly watching at the gates. But the apostles were liberated. Material restrictions are not anymore restrictions for this liberation. This liberation is above that. And they were liberated for a specific purpose. “Go and stand in the Temple, and tell the people all about this new Life”. To go to the Temple and to speak about this new Life. Life liberated from the prison and Life to be in the Temple. This is the life with Jesus Risen is offering us. Life liberated from the prison of darkness and sin. Life destined to be in the Temple of God. Let’s reflect: Am I recognizing the Life offered by the Risen Christ to be out of prison of my darkness and to be in the Temple?
