The forty-ninth day of the Easter season! The scripture readings assigned for the day are wrap ups. We’ve been reading during these 49 days from the Book of Acts. The story ends with Paul in Rome proclaiming the kingdom and teaching about Jesus. Of course we know from history that Paul was later executed for the crime of being a Christian. For the past several weeks the gospel reading has been taken from St. John. This book ends by saying “there are many other things that Jesus did…” Of course endings are also beginnings. The Church of the apostles ended and a new generation built up the faith. During your prayer notice the inter-play of endings and beginnings, how God is not done with us yet.
