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.
We are all weak and imperfect, and so we all one way or the
other, sooner or later, are sinners offending God with our sins, going against His
will. God is much more important than any prophet anywhere or of any origin. But
offending God seems not to be a cause for alarm to anyone, maybe because God is
omnipotent and infinitely good and forgives our sins with the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Repentance is on each and every one of us responsibility but before that we
must acknowledge sin and want to get out of it.
Many in this side of the world has become obsessed with the
idea of dismissing sin as irrelevant, because, of course, their unnatural
practises or life styles or because they want to see the destruction of human life
as their way to avoid responsibility for their own deeds while dismissing the
dignity of the human person to what a politician can give them in comfort in
exchange of their votes.
Jesus resumed the Ten Commandments into two; to love God
with all our hearts and intensity and to love our neighbor as ourselves.
Christians suffer persecution all over the world where many
are murdered just because following the word of Jesus, only Son of God who died
at the cross for our redemption from our sins. Persecution is motivated because
Christ wants us to place Him before everyone and everything on this world and
some leaders out there feel their power is threatened by the truth of the
existence of God, because they happened to be outside of the truth, because
they want to be like gods.
Catholics know how much profanity and blasphemy goes around
in many forms and shapes; by word of mouth, images desecrated and even the Holy
Eucharist form mishandled and desecrated or by some famous movie producers
presenting movies where the truth about the Church is misrepresented, twisted
or changed, with blasphemy or in many other ways. Profanity and blasphemy go
rampant in the world. The ones that want to make the truth relative by imposing
their views while negating the absolute truth of God and His Holy Trinity and
the Gospel.
And the ones today trying to show the “movie” as the
problem, never before show any outrage before so much profanity or blasphemy,
so, they are really cowards or traitors, and as such, they will follow their
own selfishness. Their fear of Islam who they have nurtured to the point of
allowing them to invade our own culture and faith, backfires now and it is
threatening their own elitism, because perhaps Islam sooner or later will want
to replace them as the leaders of their world.
And then we observe how atheists insist on removing God from
everywhere because they feel offended by the sole mention of the word God, or
Jesus, Holy Spirit, Holy Trinity, the Holy Cross, Virgin Mary, the saints, the
gospel, the tradition of the Church, the Ten Commandments, the Bible, etc.
The Catholic Church has a long history of triumph reflected by
the many martyrs dying the worst and more dramatic deaths, with their blood and
sacrifice they have made truth prevail, against emperors, kings, dictators and
every kind of monster out there drunk of power.
Jesus taught us to react to these many offenses, by living
the truth, of love, humility and forgiveness, with faith, hope and charity.
Love is what the answer is and that is what the truth is and it is what is
missing in this whole ‘happening’. The goal is not to have heaven on earth but each
and every one of us to be saints by living the way Jesus lived and died, so
that like Him we will resurrect into eternal life.
The collectivist society is not too different from what we
are witnessing these days, because their elites will not stop before anything in
order to manipulate the masses to get their votes first and then to suffocate
the truth with the selfishness they propose to succeed in their universe of
illusions and fantasies. That is why the collectivist society pretends not to
see the true cause of the outrage and the violence and murder and burning as
pure ignorance motivated by evil, the evilness of elites, like them, pushing
them to do what they do in the name of a god which is just a product of their
own imagination, of their own frustration because their own masters keep them
relegated to the role of mobsters acting on command at short notice.
Peace is not the absence of war but embracing and living the
truth of faith, hope and love, with humility and forgiveness.
