Gospel text (Mathew 7,6.12-14): Jesus said to his
disciples, «Do not give what is holy to the dogs, or throw your pearls to the
pigs: they might trample on them and even turn on you and tear you to pieces.
So, do to others whatever you would that others do to you: there you have the
Law and the Prophets. Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and
broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many go that way. How narrow
is the gate that leads to life and how rough the road; few there are who find
it».
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.
