Acts 15: 1-2, 22-29: The church faces its first test caused by inner dissensions and she shows how, guided
by the Spirit, charity will prevail.

Rv 21:10-14, 22-23: In symbolic language the Church is depicted as a wonderful, glorious city, repenting
and caught up in the glory of God.

Jn 14:23-29: In saying farewell Jesus has not deserted us. In his name the Father sends the Holy Spirit
to aid us bearing witness to Jesus.

Today’s Message: By listening attentively to the Spirit promised by Jesus, the early church resolves the

in the heavenly Jerusalem, founded on the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
