Today's readings are here: http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/041612.cfm
We all want God to work "signs and wonders" through us, not miracles per se; but the "signs and wonders" of sanctification, holiness, and love. We want God to be glorified through the way we live, and a life lived in love is no less miraculous than healing somebody from a physical illness or raising someone from the dead.
In today's first reading, the apostles were given the power and boldness of the Holy Spirit to perform signs and wonders through Christ's name as a result of prayer. As they laid their burden of persecution on the Lord, they were empowered to faithfully carry out the mission that had been assigned to them by the Lord himself.
As we involve the Lord in every facet of our lives, we, too, will be given the power of the Holy Spirit, by which we can live the lives through which God will be glorified. Let us, then, continually cast all our cares on the Lord, for he cares for us.
