Gospel
text (John 16,5-11):
Jesus said to his disciples, «But now I am going to the One who sent me and
none of you asks me where I am going; instead you are overcome with grief
because of what I have said. Indeed believe me: It is better for you that I go
away, because as long as I do not leave, the Helper will not come to you. But
if I go away, it is to send him to you, and when He comes, He will vindicate the
truth in face of the world with regard to sin, to the way of righteousness, and
to the Judgment. What has been the sin? They did not believe in me. What is the
way of righteousness? I am on the way to the Father, meanwhile you will not see
me. What Judgment? The Ruler of this world has himself been condemned».
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.
