GO REBUILD MY CHURCH: St. Paul Shipwrecked in Malta and Why That Matters

St. Paul Shipwrecked in Malta and Why That Matters: This week Peter and Leslie begin to share the final chapter in the Acts of the Apostles. St. Paul and his companions shipwreck on the Isle of Malta. Here, as we see the Apostle move in the Holy Spirit with signs, wonders, and healings, we note that St. Luke implicitly states the major themes throughout the Acts: the power of the Holy Spirit, the Apostles preach the Kerygma, and the Church is established to carry on the mission. These three themes were not only demonstrated to those on Malta, but are imparted to us, as we seek to be the People of God on mission. The Holy Spirit, the chief protagonist among these early believers, calls us to rebuild and renew these three themes, today, in our lives, our families, and our parishes!
