Gospel text (Mathew5,38-42): Jesus said to his
disciples, «You have heard that it was said: An eye for an eye and a tooth for
a tooth. But I tell you this: do not oppose evil with evil; if someone slaps
you on your right cheek, turn and offer the other. If someone sues you in court
for your shirt, give your coat as well. If someone forces you to go one mile,
go also the second mile. Give when asked and do not turn your back on anyone
who wants to borrow from you».
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.
