Gospel
text (John 15,26—16,4):
Jesus said to his disciples, «From the Father, I will send you the Spirit of
truth. When this Helper has come from the Father, He will be my witness, and
you, too, will be my witnesses for you have been with me from the beginning. I
tell you all this to keep you from stumbling and falling away. They will put
you out of the Jewish communities. Still more, the hour is coming when anyone
who kills you will claim to be serving God; they will do this because they have
not known the Father or me. I tell you all these things now so that when the
time comes you may remember that I told you. I did not tell you about this in
the beginning because I was with you».
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.
