Join Father Dominic Holtz from Rome, Italy, for "A Word of Hope" for Thursday of the Octave of Easter. How do you react when someone in authority corrects you? It’s human nature to resist, push back, or make excuses. In this video, Father Dominic reflects on the first reading from the Acts of the Apostles, exploring how Peter challenged the crowds to recognize their role in the crucifixion of Jesus—not just to condemn them, but to open the door to repentance and grace. Discover how we, too, can embrace correction from Scripture and Church teachings, lay our sins at the cross, and step into the incredible new life offered by the Risen Lord. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this message of hope with someone who needs it today! ⏱️ **Timeline & Chapters:** 0:00 - Introduction: A Word of Hope from Rome 0:11 - The Human Struggle with Receiving Correction 0:44 - Peter’s Bold Message in Acts of the Apostles 1:21 - Ignorance and the Open Door to Repentance 2:01 - How Our Everyday Sins Relate to the Cross 2:26 - The Empty Tomb: Overcoming Sin Through Christ 3:07 - Receiving Scripture and Church Teachings with an Open Heart 🏷️ **Hashtags:** #WordOfHope #EasterOctave #FatherDominicHoltz #CatholicFaith #Repentance #Christianity #ScriptureReflection #Resurrection #SpiritualGrowth #CatholicTeaching
