In this episode, Father Genard reflects on the power of prayer, focusing on Acts chapter 12, where we witness the church's earnest prayers being answered. The story of Simon Peter's miraculous release from prison highlights the impact of the church's prayers. Father Genard delves into the details of the event, where Simon is bound in chains, awaiting execution, and yet, through God's divine intervention, an angel miraculously frees him.

As Father Genard discusses, Simon Peter's release was not an escape but a divine act orchestrated by God to fulfill His perfect will. The message encourages believers to trust in God's timing and not try to escape from life's challenges but to await God's release. Father Genard also shares insights into the importance of commitment in discipleship, pointing to scripture and oral traditions about the apostles' sacrifices, including their commitments to the church over personal lives. He emphasizes that true discipleship requires total commitment, just as the apostles were called to serve the church with undivided devotion.

Join us as Father Genard unpacks these lessons from Acts and offers profound reflections on prayer, God's will, and the call to follow Christ wholeheartedly.
