4/29/26: The Word of God Continues to Spread

Wednesday Mass. 4.29.26. In today's homily, I reflect on one of the most powerful lines in Acts: "The word of God continued to spread and grow" — written right after the death of King Herod, the most powerful man of his time. No external force, no opposition, nothing can stop the Church when God is with it. I also draw from the life of Saint Catherine of Siena and her concept of the "inner cell" — the awareness that God dwells within us everywhere we go. You are baptized. You are confirmed. The Spirit is in you. The question is: are you surrendering to that Spirit and letting God use you in the world?
