Gospel
text (Mathew 9,14-17):
John's disciples came to Jesus and said, «How is it that we and the Pharisees
fast on many occasions, but not your disciples?». Jesus answered them, «How can
you expect wedding guests to mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? Time
will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, then they will
fast. No one patches an old coat with a piece of unshrunken cloth, for the patch
will shrink and tear an even bigger hole in the coat. Besides you don't put new
wine in old wineskins. If you do, the wineskins will burst and the wine be
spilt. No, you put new wine in fresh skins; then both are preserved».
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.
