After the Resurrcction of Christ the disciples
waited 40 days for is,the Ascension. f1:3).
They tarried 10 more days and then the Holy
Spirit descended. st. Matthias was elected to
fill the place of Judas. 5u:15-26). This hap
peued between the Ascension and Pentccost
Day After the outpouring of the Holy Ghost
st. Peter preached sermon and 5000 converts
were added to the number of disciples. (2:41).
little afterward SITS. Peter and John gave
power to walk to a man born lame, This

peace. Thus we reach our Lesson.
