Saturday of the Octave of Easter

Today's readings explore the courage needed to proclaim the risen Christ, even when faced with doubt and opposition. We hear how Peter and John boldly defend their witness before religious authorities who demand their silence. The Gospel shows Jesus commissioning his disciples to spread the Good News throughout the world, despite their own struggles with unbelief. Today's Readings: • First Reading: Acts 4:13-21 • Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 118:1 and 14-15ab, 16-18, 19-21 • Gospel: Mark 16:9-15
