What Must I Do to Be Saved? – Apostles’ Fast – Day 6

Reading: Acts 16:16–34

Focus Verse: “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” (Acts 16:30)

Meditation

The jailer was not most impressed by the dramatic earthquake that shook the prison, but by the mercy and boldness of Saint Paul. Salvation begins when fear is replaced by awe—and awe opens the heart to faith.

Early Church Fathers’ Saying

“They did but show the doors standing open, and it opened the doors of his heart… for the light in his heart was shining.”
—St. John Chrysostom

Practical Practice

You are blessed to be born from the baptismal font and to have the Church as your mother. Wake up early this Sunday. Take your mother’s blessing and go to the house of God—there, you will remember who you are: a child rooted in Christ.
