Gospel
text (Mathew 5,33-37): Jesus
said to his disciples, «You have also heard that people were told in the past:
Do not break your oath; an oath sworn to the Lord must be kept. But I tell you
this: do not take oaths. Do not swear by the heavens, for they are God's
throne, nor by the earth, because it is his footstool, nor by Jerusalem because
it is the city of the great king. Do not even swear by your head, because you
cannot make a single hair white or black. Say yes when you mean yes and say no
when you mean no. Anything else you say comes from the devil».
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.
