Gospel
text (Mathew 13,24-30): Jesus
told his disciples another parable, «The kingdom of heaven can be compared to a
man who sowed good seed in his field. While everyone was asleep, his enemy came
and sowed weeds among the wheat and left. When the plants sprouted and produced
grain, the weeds also appeared. Then the servants of the owner came to him and
said: ‘Sir, was it not good seed that you sowed in your field? Where did the
weeds come from?’. He answered them: ‘This is the work of an enemy’. They asked
him: ‘Do you want us to go and pull up the weeds?’. He told them: ‘No, when you
pull up the weeds, you might uproot the wheat with them. Let them just grow
together until harvest; and at harvest time I will say to the workers: Pull up
the weeds first, tie them in bundles and burn them; then gather the wheat into
my barn’».
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.
