Fr. Michael writes: Christianity overturns the values of the world and our expectations. That is the message of the first reading. Sometimes it is so easy for us to judge, to assume we know what God wants. But God is much bigger than our mindset, and we have to be willing to readjust. The disciples have been observant Jews – they think they know what God expects in religion, that they are the Chosen People. They have to re-think. Peter assures them that God has no favourites; He is no respecter of nationality or any other purely human distinction. The Good News is for pagan and Jew alike. The only requirements are an acceptance of Jesus as key to our salvation and an openness to receive the Holy Spirit. Let us ensure we do not put up any obstacles where God has placed none.6th Sunday of Easter
