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.
Dramatic play of light and shadow was the great lesson Gerbrand van den Eeckhout absorbed from his teacher Rembrandt. Here, an angel appears to the Roman centurion Cornelius (Acts of the Apostles). The angel tells him to seek out St. Peter who will then teach him about Christ. pic.twitter.com/L46bFxcdih
