Dear Brothers & Sisters,

Acts of the Apostles this week continues the story of the extraordinary growth of the early church with its many ups and downs along the way.

Monday & Tuesday brings us the martyrdom of Stephen the first Christian martyr, who prays for his persecutors while being put to death, just as Jesus did on Good Friday.

Wednesday tells of the violent persecution of the early Christians that frightens and scatters & demoralises them.

Thursday brings us the story of Philip who baptises the Ethiopian eunuch, who in turn plants the gospel seed in Africa, centuries before the name of Jesus was ever heard in Britain or Ireland.

Friday brings us is the conversion of Saul on the road to Damasus, an ardent pharisee who becomes by God's grace the chosen instrument to bring the gospel to the non Jews.

Saturday brings us the miracle of Peter raising to life Dorcas (or Tabitha) which echoes the miracles of Jesus and leads to the conversion of the people of Jaffa.

Next Sunday is Good Shepherd Sunday, a day of special prayer for vocations to priesthood and Christian leadership
