Gospel
text (Mathew 5,13-16):
Jesus said to his disciples, «You are the salt of the earth. But if salt has
lost its strength, how can it be made salty again? It has become useless. It
can only be thrown away and people will trample on it. You are the light of the
world. A city built on a mountain cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and
covers it; instead it is put on a lamp-stand, where it gives light to everyone
in the house. In the same way your light must shine before others, so that they
may see the good you do and praise your Father in heaven».
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.
