No One Is Unclean – Apostles’ Fast – Day 12

Reading: Acts 10:21-33

Focus Verse: “But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.”
— Acts 10:28 (NKJV)

Meditation

We must not judge others by appearance, background, or culture—Christ’s grace reaches all. God may be calling us to open the doors of His Church, that the lost sheep may be gathered into the knowledge of the truth.

Early Church Fathers’ Saying

“Every man is to be admitted to the grace of Christ… since Peter also in the Acts of the Apostles says, ‘The Lord hath said to me that I should call no man common or unclean.’”
— St. Cyprian of Carthage

Practical Practice

Look around at work, in your community, or even at church. Is there someone you’ve kept at a distance? Reach out with kindness today—you may be the first icon of Christ they ever see.
