Homily for Saturday of the 4th Week of Easter

When Paul and Barnabas were expelled from the synagogue and banished from the region, what seemed like a failure actually contributed to the spread of the Gospel. Paul quotes Isaiah: "I have made you a light to the Gentiles, that you may be an instrument of salvation to the ends of the earth."

Paul's perspective offers valuable insights during any crisis or transition, emphasizing trust in God's loving providence. We should also adopt this approach, particularly in uncertain times.

Let us pray for a deep trust in God's goodness, confident that He will guide us and provide us with strength and wisdom if we open our minds and hearts to His grace.
