Gospel
text (Luke 1,39-45):
Mary then set out for a town in the Hills of Judah. She entered the house of
Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby
leapt in her womb. Elizabeth was filled with holy spirit, and giving a loud
cry, said, «You are most blessed among women and blessed is the fruit of your
womb! How is it that the mother of my Lord comes to me? The moment your greeting
sounded in my ears, the baby within me suddenly leapt for joy. Blessed are you
who believed that the Lord's word would come true!».
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.
