• 20 October – Saint Cornelius the Centurion
Memorial
20 October
13 September (Eastern calendar)
2 February on some calendars
(1st Century)
traditionally believed to have become the First Bishop of Caesarea, a
Roman Centurion who is considered to be the one of first Gentile to
convert to the Faith, (along with the conversion and Baptism of the
Ethiopian eunuch – Acts 8). as related in Acts of the Apostles
10:1-49. The Baptism of Cornelius and his household, is an important
event in the history of the early Church, for it points to the first
century use of infant Baptism.
“Now in Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a Centurion of the
Cohort called the Italica, devout and God-fearing along with his whole
household, who used to give alms generously to the Jewish people and
pray to God constantly. One afternoon about three o’clock, he saw
plainly in a vision, an Angel of God come in to him and say to him,
“Cornelius.” He looked intently at him and, seized with fear, said,
“What is it, sir?” He said to him, “Your prayers and almsgiving have
ascended as a memorial offering before God. Now send some men to Joppa
and summon one Simon who is called Peter. He is staying with another
Simon, a tanner, who has a house by the sea.” When the Angel who spoke
to him had left, he called two of his servants and a devout soldier
from his staff, explained everything to them and sent them to Joppa.
The next day, while they were on their way and nearing the city, Peter
went up to the roof terrace to pray at about noontime. He was hungry
and wished to eat and while they were making preparations, he fell
into a trance. He saw heaven opened and something resembling a large
sheet coming down, lowered to the ground by its four corners. In it
were all the earth’s four-legged animals and reptiles and the birds of
the sky. A voice said to him, “Get up, Peter. Slaughter and eat.” But
Peter said, “Certainly not, sir. For never have I eaten anything
profane and unclean.” The voice spoke to him again, a second time,
“What God has made clean, you are not to call profane.” This happened
three times and then the object was taken up into the sky.
While Peter was in doubt about the meaning of the vision he had seen,
the men sent by Cornelius asked for Simon’s house and arrived at the
entrance. They called out inquiring whether Simon, who is called
Peter, was staying there. As Peter was pondering the vision, the
Spirit said [to him] “There are three men here looking for you. So get
up, go downstairs and accompany them without hesitation because I have
sent them.” Then Peter went down to the men and said, “I am the one
you are looking for. What is the reason for your being here?” They
answered, “Cornelius, a centurion, an upright and God-fearing man,
respected by the whole Jewish nation, was directed by a holy angel to
summon you to his house and to hear what you have to say.” So he
invited them in and showed them hospitality. The next day he got up
and went with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa went with him.
On the following day he entered Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them
and had called together his relatives and close friends. When Peter
entered, Cornelius met him and, falling at his feet, paid him homage.
Peter, however, raised him up, saying, “Get up. I myself am also a
human being.” While he conversed with him, he went in and found many
people gathered together and said to them, “You know that it is
unlawful for a Jewish man to associate with, or visit, a Gentile but
God has shown me that I should not call any person profane or unclean.
And that is why I came without objection when sent for. May I ask,
then, why you summoned me?” Cornelius replied, “Four days ago at this
hour, three o’clock in the afternoon, I was at prayer in my house when
suddenly a man in dazzling robes stood before me and said, ‘Cornelius,
your prayer has been heard and your almsgiving remembered before God.
Send therefore, to Joppa and summon Simon, who is called Peter. He is
a guest in the house of Simon, a tanner, by the sea.‘ So I sent for
you immediately and you were kind enough to come.Now, therefore, we
are all here in the presence of God to listen to all that you have
been commanded by the Lord.”
Then Peter proceeded to speak and said, “In truth, I see that God
shows no partiality. Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and
acts uprightly is acceptable to him. You know the word [that] he sent
to the Israelites as he proclaimed peace through Jesus Christ, who is
Lord of all, what has happened all over Judea, beginning in Galilee
after the baptism that John preached, how God anointed Jesus of
Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power. He went about doing good and
healing all those oppressed by the devil, for God was with him We are
witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and (in)
Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree. This man
God raised (on) the third day and granted that he be visible, not to
all the people but to us, the witnesses chosen by God in advance, who
ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. He commissioned us
to preach to the people and testify that he is the one appointed by
God as judge of the living and the dead. To him all the prophets bear
witness, that everyone who believes in him will receive forgiveness of
sins through his name.”
While Peter was still speaking these things, the Holy Spirit fell upon
all who were listening to the word. The circumcised believers who had
accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit
should have been poured out on the Gentiles also, for they could hear
them speaking in tongues and glorifying God. Then Peter responded,
“Can anyone withhold the water for baptising these people, who have
received the Holy Spirit even as we have?” He ordered them to be
baptised in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they invited him to stay
for a few days. ” –Acts 10:1-49

Prayer in Adoration of the Sacred Heart
By St Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647-1690)
Visionary and Apostle of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Jesus Christ, my Lord and my God,
Whom I believe to be really present
in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar,
receive this most profound Act of Adoration
to supply for the desire I have,
to adore Thee unceasingly
and in thanksgiving,
for the sentiments of love
which Thy Sacred Heart
has for me in this Sacrament.
I cannot better acknowledge them,
than by offering Thee,
all the Acts of Adoration,
resignation, patience and love
which this same Heart has made
during its mortal life
and which it makes still
and which it shall make eternally in Heaven,
in order that through it,
I may love Thee, praise Thee
and adore Thee worthily,
as much as it is possible for me.
I unite myself to this Divine Offering
which Thou dost make to Thy Divine Father
and I consecrate to Thee,
my whole being,
praying Thee, to destroy in me,
all sin and not to permit
that I should be separated from Thee,
in time and eternally.
Amen.
"I would like the angels of Heaven to be among us. I would like an abundance
of peace. I would like full vessels of charity. I would like rich treasures
of mercy. I would like cheerfulness to preside over all. I would like Jesus
to be present. I would like the three Marys of illustrious renown to be with
us. I would like the friends of Heaven to be gathered around us from all
parts. I would like myself to be a rent-payer to the Lord; that I should
suffer distress, that he would bestow a good blessing upon me. I would like
a great lake of beer for the King of Kings. I would like to be watching
Heaven's family drinking it through all eternity
