Homily by Mary McGlone

4/27/2015

 
Homily on:
Fourth Sunday of Easter
Acts 4:8-12
Psalm 118
1 John 3:1-2
John 10:11-18
In his name
It happens to everybody at some point. You do someone a good turn, and you get in big trouble for it. Today, we hear Peter defending himself before the guardians of orthodoxy. Poor Peter is accused of healing a crippled beggar in the name of Jesus. (See the whole account in Acts 3-4.) As the story goes, Peter's responses culminate with the question of choosing whether to obey God or men, even -- or especially -- when the men claim the sanction of religious authority.
