Every Nation (Acts 10)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Aug 25, 2025

How did the apostles realize that the Gospel was for every nation?

Is the promise to Abraham that “in you all the families of the earth will be blessed” (Genesis 12:3) starting to be fulfilled? How did Peter come to understand that? Let’s look at Acts 10.

Nineteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Cycle A - 19th Sunday, Year A -- Walking On Water

Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 30, 2020

There is an element of test in Peter’s condition, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” Peter asking Jesus “to command” him suggests the alignment of Peter’s will with the will of the Lord.

Gentle Jesus

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 27, 2018
