Acts 12:16

"They said to her, “You are crazy!” But she insisted that it was so. They said, “It is his angel.”"

Key Reflection

This exchange highlights the disbelief and skepticism others have when a miracle occurs, contrasting with the woman's unwavering faith. Her insistence that what she saw was real, even in the face of doubt from those around her, underscores the power of personal witness over collective skepticism.
