In this reflection for Saturday of the 6th Week of Easter (May 16th), Father Greg Heille, OP, traces the missionary journeys of St. Paul through Asia Minor and Europe. As Paul explains how Jesus is the fulfillment of the Law and the Scriptures, we see the early Church growing through partnership and deep study.
In Acts 18, we meet the missionary couple Priscilla and Aquila, who take a talented teacher named Apollos under their wing. Even though Apollos was already "ardent," he needed a deeper understanding of the faith. This story serves as a powerful reminder for us today: our journey with Christ is one of continuous learning and community support.
Fr. Greg also reflects on the Gospel of John, where Jesus invites us to "ask in His name." Whether we are seeking wisdom, searching for the deeper meaning of Scripture, or looking for our place in the community, we are encouraged to knock, ask, and probe the mysteries of God.
✨ **Key Takeaway:** We are called to be assets to our community of faith, walking alongside one another on the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
