Gospel
text (Mathew 7,7-12): Jesus
said to his disciples, «Ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock
and the door will be opened. For everyone who asks, receives; whoever seeks,
finds; and the door will be opened to him who knocks. Would any of you give a
stone to your son when he asks for bread? Or give him a snake, when he asks for
a fish? As bad as you are, you know how to give good things to your children.
How much more, then, will your Father in heaven give good things to those who
ask him! So, do to others whatever you would that others do to you: there you
have the Law and the Prophets».
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.
