Gospel
text (Luke 9,51-56): As
the time drew near when Jesus would be taken up to heaven, He made up his mind
to go to Jerusalem. He had sent ahead of him some messengers who entered a
Samaritan village to prepare a lodging for him. But the people would not
receive him because He was on his way to Jerusalem. Seeing this, James and
John, his disciples said, «Lord, do you want us to call down fire from heaven
to reduce them to ashes?». Jesus turned and rebuked them, and they went on to
another village.
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.
