4th Sunday of Easter
First reading Acts 13:14,43-52
The Fourth Sunday of Easter shines with the bold clarity of a turning point in salvation history—a moment when the early disciples, moved by the Spirit, begin to grasp the boundless horizon of the Resurrection. In the synagogue at Antioch, Paul and Barnabas courageously affirm that the message of Christ is not confined to a chosen few but destined for all peoples. This is a decisive awakening: the universality of the Christ Event becomes the heartbeat of the Church’s mission. Easter, then, is not a closed chapter of triumph for an isolated group, but an open door through which the light of the Risen One pours into every nation, inviting all to the joy of redemption. In this paschal season, we too are called to live with that same apostolic courage—proclaiming, by word and witness, that the love of Christ is for all. Easter is the radiant proclamation that the Risen Christ is not the Savior of a few, but the light of salvation offered to all peoples, calling the Church to a universal mission of hope.
