Saturday in the Octave of Easter

Acts 4:13-21


Peter and John cannot be silenced by the leaders, elders and scribes in their praise for Jesus, saying "...it is impossible for us not to speak about what we have seen and heard."
They  pay Peter and John the highest tribute that can be given to any Christian:  "They recognized them as the companions of Jesus." 

In your daily interaction with people, do you remain silent when something is said that makes you feel uncomfortable?  For example, if a racist remark is made or if something is being said about a person who is not present, do you speak up?    The reading inspired this writer to strive to state his feelings in these situations in a calm and positive manner indicating he is truly a companion of Jesus. 

May the same be said uf us.
