2nd Week of Easter, Thursday, 20-04-2023

Acts 5:27-33 / John 3:31-36      

A spiritual person is not one who just spends a lot of time praying, or doing things that others would think that is holy.

A person can do all that and even more, and may seem to be quite spiritual.

But a truly spiritual person is one who bears witness to God in what he or she says or does.

In other words, a spiritual person bears testimony to God even though that person’s testimony may not be totally accepted by others.

That is what John the Baptist said about a truly spiritual person.

In the 1st reading, the disciples were moved by the Spirit to speak even though they faced the Sanhedrin.

Peter even declared before the high priest and the officials that obedience to God comes before obedience to men.

He even added that he and the disciples were witnesses to the truth of God, and that the Holy Spirit was given to those who obey God.

Let us pray to the Holy Spirit that we will obey God and do His will so that others will see that we are truly spiritual persons.
