Unity. We celebrate together two very different individuals: but no one criticized Peter, a fisherman who spent his days amid boats and nets, and him.

In short, Peter behind his back, Jusepe de Ribera, c. 1616 they were two very different people, yet they saw one another as but they spoke to God. We today can ask: “Are we protecting our brothers, as happens in close-knit families where there may be unity with prayer? The unity of the Church? Are we praying for frequent arguments, but unfailing love. Yet the closeness that one another?” What would happen if we prayed more and joined Peter and Paul did not come from natural inclinations, but complained less? … with speech that was a little more calm. The from the Lord. He did not command us to like one another, but same thing that happened to Peter in prison: now as then, so to love one another.

And we would be amazed, like the girl who — seeing Peter at the gate — did not open it, but ran inside, amazed “Today’s first reading brings us to the source of this unity with the joy of seeing Peter. Let us ask for the grace to be able to (Acts 12:1-11). It relates how the newly born Church was pray for one another. Saint Paul urged Christians to pray for experiencing a moment of crisis: Herod was furious, a violent everyone, especially those who govern (cf. 1 Tim 2:1-3). “But this persecution had broken out, and the James had been ruler is to be …,” and the descriptions are many.

Let us pray; they need one abandoned the others, but all joined in prayer. From prayer prayer. This is a task that the Lord has entrusted to us. Are we they drew strength, from prayer came a unity more powerful than carrying it out? Or do we simply talk, criticize, and do nothing? any threat. The text says that, “while Peter was kept in prison, the God expects that when we pray we will also be mindful of those Church prayed fervently to God for him” (Acts 12:5). Unity is the who do not think as we do, those who have slammed the door in fruit of prayer, for prayer allows the Holy Spirit to intervene, our face, those whom we find it hard to forgive. Only prayer opening our hearts to hope, shortening distances and holding us unlocks chains, only prayer paves the way to unity... together at times of difficulty.

“The second word is prophecy. Unity and prophecy. The “Let us notice something else: at that dramatic moment, no Apostles were challenged by Jesus. Peter heard Jesus’ question: one complained about Herod’s evil and his persecution. No one “Who do you say I am?” (cf. Mt 16:15). At that moment he insulted Herod -- and we are so used to insulting those who hold realized that the Lord was not interested in what others thought, responsibility. It is pointless, even tedious, for Christians to waste but in Peter’s personal decision to follow him. Paul’s life changed their time complaining about the world, about society, about after a similar challenge from Jesus: “Saul, Saul, why do you everything that is not right. Complaints change nothing. Let us persecute me?” (Acts 9:4). The Lord shook Paul to the core: more remember that complaints are the second door closed to the Holy than just knocking him to the ground on the road to Damascus, Spirit, as I said on the day of Pentecost: the first is narcissism, the he shattered Paul’s illusion of being respectably religious. As a second discouragement, the third pessimism. Narcissism takes result, the proud Saul turned into Paul.
