In today’s Daily Reflection, we explore how the book of Acts records the fragile beginnings of Christianity, when a small group of faith-filled followers waited in hope after Jesus' resurrection. Hidden in an upper room and unsure of what lay ahead, they carried in their hearts a powerful hope that would become the foundation of a global movement. Like them, Christians today draw strength and courage from the promises of Jesus and the Holy Spirit, whose presence fills believers with enduring hope, joy, and peace.
