Gospel
text (John 12,24-26):
Jesus said, «Truly, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falls to the earth
and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much fruit. Those who
love their life destroy it, and those who despise their life in this world keep
it for everlasting life. Whoever wants to serve me, let him follow me and
wherever I am, there shall my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father
will honor him».
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.
