The readings this weekend offer important lessons about obedience to God, worship, and love. They remind us of the joy and responsibility that come with following Jesus. Today we see that the apostles stood firm in their faith when questioned by the high priest. They insisted on obeying God rather than men. Obedience to God requires great courage and trust. The apostles knew that following God might bring them suffering, but they chose to obey Him anyway. We face many situations where we must choose between obeying God or following the world. The apostles’ example encourages us to stand firm in our faith. By putting God first, we show our commitment to His will.

Lord, as the Church enters this time of transition, we ask for the guidance of Your Holy Spirit. Pour forth Your wisdom upon the College of Cardinals as they gather to discern Your will for the successor to the Chair of St. Peter.
Grant them clarity of mind, purity of heart, and courage of spirit, that they may choose a shepherd after Your own heart, one who will lead Your flock with wisdom, holiness, and love.
May the new pope be a faithful witness to Your truth, a compassionate minister to all in need, and a unifying presence in our divided world. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
