Acts 11: Peter had to answer to the other Jews for going to Cornelius, a gentile, and sharing the Gospel with him and his household. I was struck by the way the Lord prepared Peter for what was coming -- so that he wouldn't miss it. For thousands of years, the Lord had been forming a people. Now he had Peter extend that formation to gentiles. Jesus had promised that the disciples would do greater things than He did -- and here, through Peter, He opened the Kingdom to the whole world.

Novena to the Holy Spirit

"Wait for the promise of the Father...you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you." Acts 1:5,6

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created, and you shall renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray.

O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
