Fourth Sunday of Easter

“Leaders of the people and elders: if we are being examined today about a good deed being done to a cripple, namely, by what means he was saved, then all of you and all the people of Israel should know that it was in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in his name this man stands before you healed... there is no salvation through anyone else.” 

The clear and forceful sermons of Peter in the Acts of the Apostles provide the foundation of our faith in Jesus Christ. The same apostle who denied knowing Christ, bravely addressed those who were against or challenged the mighty deeds of the Lord.

As a practice during this Easter period, read these sermons and those of Paul, to reinforce your faith and commitment to Jesus Christ. We call these teachings the kerygmatic sermons, announcing and summarizing the basic mystery of the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

We respect the name of Jesus, we reverently approach the One who offers us the gift of salvation today. ‘There is no other name...’
