For their unbelief after the resurrection. Mary Magdalene told them. They did not believe. The Emmaus disciples told them. They did not believe. Witness after witness after witness. And they sat at that table unconvinced.Hardness of heart is not intellectual caution. It is a decision about what is possible that has nothing to do with evidence.Meanwhile Peter and John stood before the Sanhedrin with a healed man as evidence. The council saw an undeniable miracle and asked "what are we to do with these men" instead of "what does this mean."Peter's answer: It is impossible for us not to speak about what we have seen and heard.Is silence still possible for you?📖 ReadingsFirst Reading: Acts 4: 13-21Responsorial: Psalm 118:1 and 14-15ab, 16-18, 19-21Gospel: Mark 16:9-15⏱️ Timeline00:00 Introduction00:15 Reading I - Acts 4: 13-2101:28 Psalm Response - Psalm 11805:21 Sequence - Victimæ Paschali Laudes06:56 Gospel - Mark 16:9-1507:47 Reflection - They Did Not Believe🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?
