The Gospel reading for today is from Matthew 10:40-42:
Jesus said, "Whoever welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. What does it mean to welcome someone? How do you welcome someone who visits your home, your school, or your church? In the video above, Cornelius welcomes people into his home. Watch the video and use the questions below to discuss the story:
- Cornelius and his family are gentiles. What is a gentile? A gentile is someone who isn't Jewish.
- What led Peter and the others to travel together?

- Why is it important that everyone is welcome?
- How does this story remind us of God's love for us?
