Lord My Chef Daily Recipe for the Soul by Fr. Nicanor F. Lalog II Monday in the Fourth Week of Easter, 27 April 2026 Acts 11:1-18 <*((((>< + ><))))*> John 10:11-18
I miss you, Lord Jesus Christ; I miss reaching out to others in prayer, sharing you with them. Like Peter in Joppa.
The Apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles too had accepted the word of God. So when Peter went up to Jerusalem the circumcised believers confronted him, saying, “You entered the house of uncircumcised people and ate with them.” Peter began and explained it to them step by step, saying, “I was at prayer in the city of Joppa…” (Acts 11:1-5).
Lord Jesus, continue to work in me, most especially, let me see you working in others too, right in their hearts, especially those different from us not only physically but most especially in background and beliefs; remind me often that God's grace cannot be contained nor limited among us nor in a particular location only; may this Easter season be an occasion for us to change how we see one another as you yourself had said, "I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold" (John 10:16).
There are so many things I need to change in myself, Jesus, our Good Shepherd especially those so different from what I have been used to like in meeting you, seeing you, and following you. Amen.
