Gospel
text (John 6,44-51): Jesus
addressed the crowd, «No one can come to me unless he is drawn by the Father
who sent me; and I will raise him up on the last day. It has been written in
the Prophets: They shall all be taught by God. So whoever listens and learns
from the Father comes to me. For no one has seen the Father except the One who
comes from God; He has seen the Father. Truly, I say to you, whoever believes
has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Though your ancestors ate the manna
in the desert, they died. But here you have the bread which comes from heaven
so that you may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which has come
from heaven; whoever eats of this bread will live forever. The bread I shall
give is my flesh and I will give it for the life of the world».
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.
