Gospel text (John 6,16-21): When evening came, the
disciples went down to the shore. After a while they got into a boat to make
for Capernaum on the other side of the sea, for it was now dark and Jesus had
not yet come to them. But the sea was getting rough because a strong wind was
blowing. They had rowed about three or four miles, when they saw Jesus walking
on the sea, and he was drawing near to the boat. They were frightened, but He
said to them, «It is Me; don't be afraid». They wanted to take him into the
boat, but immediately the boat was at the shore to which they were going.
Our God is all love and truth, who asks from us humility and forgiveness. Our God is the only living God. He has the word of eternal life. Observing the process of the current protests in the Middle East and many other places in the world by the so called followers of Islam, presumably outraged because they do not like what is being presented in a film about their prophet; it is interesting to distinguish that factual truth, about what is missing in the whole staging of these protests and it is precisely, truth, love, humility and forgiveness and it is not precisely from the ignorant mobs perpetrating the assaults under the direction of their evil leaders, but from the ones supposedly protecting the basic and fundamental freedoms we all in the western civilization which is founded in Christianity, have for granted.
