“When they heard that he was alive…they refused to believe it.” (Mark 16:11)
Reflection: On Easter morning, the women who had seen the Risen Lord were greeted by disbelieving apostles. That night, Jesus chided them for their stubborn refusal to believe.
The apostles clearly were not engaged in wishful thinking. They came to believe because they saw and touched the risen Lord. This gives us confidence. The victory of life is more than wishful thinking.
Prayer: Lord, sometimes we doubt your victory over death, and your ability to overcome the Culture of Death. Drive the power of doubt away, and enable me to spread the certainty of the victory of life! Amen! Today’s Pro-life Reflection: Victory of Life
