Gospel
text (Luke 15,3-7): Jesus
told them this parable, «Who among you, having a hundred sheep and losing one
of them, will not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and seek out the lost
one till he finds it? And finding it, will he not joyfully carry it home on his
shoulders? Then he will call his friends and neighbors together and say:
‘Celebrate with me for I have found my lost sheep’. I tell you, just so, there
will be more rejoicing in heaven over one repentant sinner than over
ninety-nine upright who do not need to repent».
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.
