It is by far easier to remain silent then to speak up for the truth. Truth that often the world and those who live in it distort for their own means or pleasure.
What is the truth? Is it that it is ok for an unmarried teenage son to share the same bed with his girlfriend? Is it ok to steal from your company in one way or another because they pay lowly or froze paying out bonuses? Is it ok that younger children attending Sunday school skip mass till they are older? There is no end to the lists in which the truth can be perverted or distorted.
There is only one truth and that is to live in the light of our Lord Jesus Christ! He is truth personified! Let us remain in Him consecrated in truth. Amen

John 17:11b–19
Lifting up his eyes to heaven, Jesus prayed, saying:
“Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one. When I was with them I protected them in your name that you gave me, and I guarded them, and none of them was lost except the son of destruction, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled. But now I am coming to you. I speak this in the world so that they may share my joy completely. I gave them your word, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. I do not ask that you take them out of the world but that you keep them from the Evil One. They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world. And I consecrate myself for them, so that they also may be consecrated in truth.”
