In the first book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning until the day when he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. After his suffering he presented himself alive to them by many convincing proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.

God of surprises, thank you that your message of love expanded in ways that no one could expect! Thank you that the same resurrection power that worked among the disciples remains at work today. Help me to join in this work, spreading the message of your reign of justice and love. Amen.
