Gospel
text (John 6,30-35):
The people said to Jesus, «Show us miraculous signs, that we may see and
believe you. What sign do you perform? Our ancestors ate manna in the desert;
as Scripture says: ‘They were given bread from heaven to eat’». Jesus then said
to them, «Truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from
heaven. My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. The bread God gives is
the One who comes from heaven and gives life to the world». And they said to
him, «Give us this bread always». Jesus said to them, «I am the bread of life;
whoever comes to me shall never be hungry, and whoever believes in me shall
never be thirsty».
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.
