Gospel
text (Luke 12,1-7):
Such a numerous crowd had gathered that they crushed one another. Then Jesus
spoke to his disciples in this way, «Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees which
is hypocrisy. Nothing is covered that will not be uncovered, or hidden that
will not be made known. Whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in
daylight, and what you have whispered in hidden places, will be proclaimed from
the housetops. I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who put to death the
body and after that can do no more. But I will tell you whom to fear: Fear the
One who after killing you is able to throw you into hell. This one you must
fear. Don't you get five sparrows for two pennies? Yet not one of them has been
forgotten by God. Even the hairs of your head have been numbered. So do not
fear: are you not worth more than a flock of sparrows?».
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.
