Homily, Monday, April 27
Acts 11:1-18“So then, even to the Gentiles, God has granted life-giving repentance to the Gentiles too!”
Peter was somewhat hesitant to go to the Gentiles. Jesus conveyed his message of loving us all. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for illuminating the beauty of God in each of us.
John 10:11-18
“A hired man, who is not a shepherd and whose sheep are not his own, sees a wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away.”
The true shepherd will also present himself to the wolf, so that the wolf too may become a lamb. Many people were wolves before receiving God’s grace and becoming lambs.
