Acts 16:11-15 / John 15:26 - 16:4  

What is right or wrong is not a matter of personal or public opinion.

Right is right, even if no one is doing it.

And wrong is wrong, even if everyone is doing it.

So, what is right or wrong is determined by an objective truth.

In the gospel, Jesus says this: When the Advocate comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who issues from the Father, he will be my witness.

Jesus is the Truth, and He proclaimed and witnessed to the truth of love.

And the truth of love bears the fruits of forgiveness, compassion, kindness, understanding, patience, all of which are the fruits of the Spirit of truth.

So the use of violence, terrorism and other hostile violations of the human dignity is certainly not the truth of life, nor can it be a truth from God.

Jesus calls us to be His witnesses, and He sends us the Holy Spirit to be our Advocate.

Let us be faithful to Jesus who is the Truth.

And when confronted with opposition and resistance, let us believe that in the end, the truth will prevail.
