Contemplation (verse 48)
Observe how the Gentiles gladly received the word and glorified God for it; they rejoiced not because they were favored, but because the truth had reached them, and their hearts were opened to the Gospel. This shows us that salvation is a gift from God, given to those whom He has prepared in advance to receive it.
+ St. John Chrysostom

Dear God, thank You for loving me and for sending Jesus to bring Your good news to everyone.
