By Joannie Watson, Integrated Catholic - One word that reoccurs again and again in the opening chapters of Acts – and therefore in our daily Mass readings during these first days of Easter – is the word witness. Notice how Jesus commissions his Apostles: “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8, emphasis added).
