p. Enzo Fortunato - Commento al Vangelo del 5 aprile 2026

April 5, 2026·13 min·1 clip

Father Enzo Fortunato declares there is no more beautiful announcement than the resurrection of Jesus on Easter.

The episode is a daily Gospel commentary by Father Enzo Fortunato, specifically for Easter Sunday. It begins with a joyful proclamation of the resurrection, framing the Cross and suffering as having led to this moment. The host then invites listeners to hear the bells of Assisi ringing to announce the resurrection. This is followed by a reading from the Gospel of John, detailing Mary Magdalene's discovery of the empty tomb and the subsequent visit by Peter and the beloved disciple. Father Enzo then provides a theological reflection, stating that the key word of resurrection is 'love,' and that nothing can block the lives of those who love. He further elaborates that Easter defeats sin and shatters fears, allowing believers to view suffering, illness, oppression, and even death from the perspective of the 'third day'—the day of resurrection. He uses imagery, suggesting the place of Calvary will appear as Tabor (the place of transfiguration) and that the world's sufferings are the birth pangs of a new life. Father Enzo notes that Jesus's wounds, shown to the disciples after resurrection, were not erased but are signs he traversed them. He emphasizes that hope is the compass for our journey. The latter part of the episode shifts to personal greetings and blessings. He sends Easter wishes in communion with Pope Leo and the Church. He addresses specific listeners by name, including Orlando, Anna, Chiara, Master Rico, Mirko, Giulia, Leonardo, Lutovico, grandparents Anna and Gaetano, and a five-year-old named Federico. He mentions a letter he posted to a family going through a difficult time and another letter from Rossana requesting prayers for a 12-year-old boy named Luis who passed away. He concludes by directing listeners to his website and the magazine 'Piazza San Pietro' where letters are published, gives a final blessing in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and wishes everyone a Happy Easter.
