Third Monday of Eastertide – Acts 6:8-15; John 6:22-29
We live in a world where the line between truth and falsehood is often blurred. It’s easy to twist words, repeat half-truths, spread fake news, or stay silent when something important is being ignored. All of it can be done to stir up emotion, grab attention, or hide what is uncomfortable. But every lie, however small it seems, does harm. It dulls the conscience and distances us from what is good, true, and beautiful.
We do not know what became of those who made false accusations against Jesus, or later against Stephen. Did their conscience trouble them? Did they ever regret their lies? We may never know. But we do know this: their falsehoods helped destroy innocent lives. And truth matters because people matter.
Lies never leave us unchanged. When we accept untruth, even in small ways, we grow less sensitive to honesty and integrity. So let us ask ourselves: do I ever hide behind “little lies”? Do I leave out the truth when it suits me? Do I realise how serious that is?
Lord Jesus, You are the Truth. Help me to seek You above everything else, and to love what is honest, pure, and right. Amen.
