Today's readings are here: http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/041812.cfm
In today's first reading, the angel of the Lord freed the apostles from prison and told them to "tell the people everything about this life."
This is how it is when we have experienced God's love for us, and have begun to love him in return. This new life cannot be "imprisoned"; it has to be shared with those around us, because it meets the deepest needs of our hearts. We have found the One for whom our hearts have been searching, and we have to share his goodness with others; we cannot keep it in.
Today's Gospel begins with John 3:16, the most oft-quoted verse in the entire Bible: "God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life." Through Christ, our God has loved us. Let us, then, enjoy his company, so that we can share his goodness with others.
