"LET NOTHING TROUBLE YOU, LET NOTHING FRIGHTEN YOU.
GOD NEVER CHANGES.
PATIENCE OBTAINS ALL THINGS. HE WHO POSSESSES GOD LACKS NOTHING : GOD ALONE SUFFICES." (ST TERESA OF AVILA).
"The high priest rose up and all his companions, that is, the party of the Sadducees, and, filled with jealousy, laid hands upon the Apostles and put them in the public jail. 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.” When they heard this, they went to the temple early in the morning and taught." (Acts 5: 17.... 26).
Wednesday 27th April 2022, 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)
Yes Lord, I will share Your Gospel with my brothers and sisters.
