Gospel
text (Mathew 13,47-53):
Jesus said to his disciples, «Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a big
fishing net let down into the sea, in which every kind of fish has been caught.
When the net is full, it is dragged ashore. Then they sit down and gather the
good fish in buckets, but throw the worthless ones away. That is how it will be
at the end of time; the angels will go out to separate the wicked from the just
and throw them into the blazing furnace, where they will weep and gnash their
teeth». Jesus asked, «Have you understood all these things?». «Yes», they
answered. So He said to them, «You will see that every teacher of the Law who
becomes a disciple of the Kingdom is like a householder who can produce from
his store things both new and old». When Jesus had finished these parables, He
left the place.
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.
