Paul was persecuted for the same reason he persecuted others to death.
Pablo fue perseguido por la misma razón por la que persiguió a otros hasta la muerte.

Death is scary because it changes our relationship with others.
La muerte es escalofriante porque cambia nuestras relaciones con los demás.

When we sin, we deny the Holy and Righteous One. At times we do this willingly; that is when we commit a mortal sin. But we may also act out of ignorance. In both cases, we still need God’s forgiveness. Peter and John are addressing their communities, not to shame them, but to bring them to the light of the Lord’s face by repentance and by living the Commandments.

From today’s Psalm: “Let those who fear the Lord say, ‘His mercy endures forever.’”
