Suffering for Doing Good

For this fourth Sunday of Easter, I would like to concentrate on our second reading, which is from the first letter of Peter, a beautiful text that we consult only rarely in the course of the liturgical calendar. It seems eminently clear from the totality of this letter that it was written to a suffering, probably persecuted, Church. Therefore, how to deal with adversity, negativity, even the threat of death was an existential concern of this community. Peter gives his readers an extraordinary and deeply Christian principle: “Beloved, if you are patient when you suffer for doing what is good, this is a grace before God.”

It is very difficult to continually love and serve a person who thinks nothing of you and the more you do the more unkindness is shown to you. I believe it is the will of God. I always thought that Jesus had saved me for big things, I was wrong it was small things with no thanks only our Lords love.
