Gospel text (John 14,27-31a): Jesus said to his
disciples, «Peace be with you; I give you my peace. Not as the world
gives peace do I give it to you. Do not be troubled; do not be afraid.
You heard me say: ‘I am going away, but I am coming to you’. If you
loved me, you would be glad that I go to the Father, for the Father is
greater than I. I have told you this now before it takes place, so that
when it does happen you may believe. It is very little what I may still
tell you, for the ruler of this world is at hand, although there is
nothing in me that he can claim. But see, the world must know that I
love the Father and that I do what the Father has taught me to do. Come
now, let us go»
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.
