O God, who by thy Spirit didst call Cornelius the Centurion to be the first Christian among the Gentiles: Grant to thy Church, we beseech thee, such a ready will to go where thou dost send and to do what thou dost command, that under thy guidance it may welcome all who turn to thee in love and faith, and proclaim the Gospel to all nations; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
February 2nd is the feast of Saint Cornelius the Centurion, a patrician and God-fearer stationed in Caesarea Maritima with the Cohors II Italica Civium Romanorum, and the first Gentile convert to Christianity. pic.twitter.com/fhWLsrvXyJ
