19 April 2019 - Rev. David Pileggi, discusses what brought about the transformation of the disciples from fearful cowards to courageous proclaimers of the gospel. Only when they encounter the risen Jesus does fear turn to joy, cowardice into boldness, doubt into belief. The peace that Jesus gives in the upper room to his disciples is the same peace he gives to us. This peace is nothing less than his enduring presence that enables us to be his witnesses without fear and anxiety.
