Third Sunday of Easter
Hear to Serve …
“RIGHT IS RIGHT,
EVEN IF NO ONE IS DOING IT.
WRONG IS WRONG,
EVEN IF EVERYONE IS DOING IT.” -St. Augustine
In our first reading today we hear how Peter and
the Apostles were trying to live out this saying even
though they were “bucking the system.” The Apostles
were going against the popular vote of the Jewish hierar-
chy and standing up for the truth even though the San-
hedrin and High Priests wanted nothing to do with the
truth. They wanted nothing to do with what is right.
They thought they had gotten rid of their problem,
namely Jesus the Christ, when they falsely accused Him
and had him put to death. I have to wonder if the San-
hedrin and High Priest were really against the message of
Christ because they thought it was wrong, or because the
message of Christ took away their personal power and
prestige with the people.
So, Peter and the rest of the Apostles
were going around and preaching and healing in the name
of Jesus. They were bringing life; they were bringing
Jesus to the people. The Apostles were doing the right
thing even though the powers to be were against it. The
Sanhedrin were afraid of losing their personal power and
prestige once again. Once again, they stepped in to try to
stop the living message of Christ.
The Apostles were jailed and scourged because
they did what was right. They obeyed God rather than
man. We have to ask ourselves if do we do the same. Do
we stand up against the popular vote today? Do we speak
out against the wrongs of our society even though the
popular vote deemed them acceptable in our society?
There are so many things that are harming us as
a society. Abortion has legalized the taking of human
life. Pornography cheapens human life and degrades the
gift of sex. Marriage is not held up in esteem as it once
was. As marriage goes, so does the life of the family, and
family life is what gives us a moral core. These things
are not right, even if it seems as though everyone is do-
ing them.
What about our spiritual lives? Do we give God
His due? Are we living out the Easter message of the
Resurrection and Eternal Life? Do we live our lives as if
Christ were alive in us? Jesus is the Lord of Life. We are
to be people of Life. We are called to share the LIFE of
Christ with others.
There are many things we have to take a stand
on. We cannot always remain silent and go along with the
popular vote. We have to be ready to stand up for what
is right even though we may be jeered at and labeled un-
popular. We need to support those who are doing what is
