Day 22
We Are the Living Church - Season of Joy
That's the end of this day.
Today's Season of Joy reflection on Acts 11:1-18 is by Mark Huddy. Mark serves the Catholic Diocese of Columbus as Director of Catholic Charities and Social Concerns and is a member of the senior executive team. Mark and his wife Beth have four children and four grandchildren. They are members of St. Matthew the Apostle parish in Gahanna, Ohio.
As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them
as it had upon us at the beginning,
and I remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said,
‘John baptized with water
but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
If then God gave them the same gift he gave to us
when we came to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ,
who was I to be able to hinder God?”
