| First Reading: Psalm: Gospel: | Galatians 2:1-2, 7-14 Psalm 117:1-2 Luke 11:1-4 |
Galatians 2:11 But when Cephas came to Antioch I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.
This is often cited as justification to stand up to the Catholic Church. But in context this is more about truth and sincerity. The problem is Peter was a little bit hypocritical and Paul challenged him on that. This doesn't mean that he in any way thought that Peter was not prime among the Apostles. But, he did understand that truth must be upheld at all cost.
Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to always uphold truth. Help me to not fear the truth, but to embrace it and trust you and not fear those who are deceived.
Amen
