Homily for Wednesday of the 4th Week of Easter

In the Church at Antioch, the Holy Spirit inspired prophets and teachers to send Barnabas and Saul on a special mission to spread the message of Jesus to the wider world.

The Church continues to seek to unite all people as one worldwide family in Christ. Each local church is called not just to maintain itself but to serve other groups, whether near or far away. We seek to be as generous with others as God has been with us.

May our prayers and actions, as ambassadors of God's love and providence, spread the knowledge of God's love and help others with their needs.
