THE GOOD NEWS
Today’s Psalm Response
Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we
place our trust in you. (Psalm 33)
Word in the World
Fifth
Sunday of
Easter
You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of God’s own. 1 Peter reminds the church
to recognize its true dignity
and vocation to live in God’s light
Called into close relationship
with Christ the Light
the way and the truth and the life
our way of living as
Christian community gives us
a mission to share the Word we hear
Acts reveals some differences and divisions
in the Christian community
based on culture and language
Such differences can be resolved
only by the Spirit of truth
that joins all who profess Christ
as God’s own people
Until we become truly one body
with unity of mind and heart
we are unable to give witness
to Jesus the Way
Each time we come
to break open the Scriptures
we are called to conversion of heart
and to reach out first
to sisters and brothers
gathered to share the Word
Then the world can begin to see
how God is working in our midst
and how we stand in the truth
that we are called to proclaim
as the holy nation that 1 Peter calls us to be

You can find the answer
to our weekly question

searching in the Bible.
You might be surprised
at what you find! A good

This Week: Two Josephs went into Egypt
and lived there: 1) son of Jacob and Rachel
in Genesis—Ch. 37; and 2) Foster father of
Jesus in Matthew—Ch. 2. Which of the two
ever returned alive to the land of Israel?
Apr 12 Question: Which prophet could be desig-
nated as patron of delivered meals? Daniel 14?
Answer: We find Habakkuk carried by an angel
with food he had cooked into the lions’s den where
Daniel was being held. (Daniel 14:33-39.
