Gospel text (John 16,29-33): The disciples said
to Jesus, «Now you are speaking plainly and not in veiled language! Now
we see that you know all things, even before we question you. Because of
this we believe that you came from God». Jesus answered them, «You say
that you believe! The hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will
be scattered, each one to his home, and you will leave me alone. Yet I
am not alone, for the Father is with me. I have told you all this, so
that in me you may have peace. You will have trouble in the world; but,
courage! I have overcome the world»
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.
