"But during the night, the angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison, led them [Peter and John] out, and said, “Go and take your place in the temple area, and tell the people everything about this life.” (Acts 5: 19 - 20).
Wednesday 14th April 2021, in the 2nd Week in the Easter Season.
A note in the margin of the Daily Roman Missal for Wednesday of the 2nd Week of Easter reads: "Mission/Purpose Wednesday." Why? The Scriptures for this Wednesday are replete of Mission statements. Peter and John discovered in Acts 5: 19 - 20, that when God anoints you for a mission, no force on earth can stop you. Did not God promise:
"I have set in front of you an open door that no one can shut." (Revelation 3: 8 CEB).
In the Gospel of today, we are urged to proclaim the Good News to everyone, everywhere in the world:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life." (John 3: 16).
Our response to the divine invitation to come forward and participate in the work of evangelization is proposed for us in the Entrance Antiphon:
"I will be a witness to You in the world O Lord. I will spread the knowledge of your name among my brothers, Alleluia! " (Psalm 18:50; 22 :23 RM)
