Gospel
text (Mathew 12,14-21):
The Pharisees went out and made plans to get rid of Jesus. As Jesus was aware
of the plot, He went away from that place. Many people followed him and He
cured all who were sick. Then He gave them strict orders not to make him known.
In this way Isaiah's prophecy was fulfilled: «Here is my servant whom I have
chosen, the one I love, and with whom I am pleased. I will put my Spirit upon
him and He will announce my judgment to the nations. He will not argue or
shout, nor will his voice be heard in the streets. The bruised reed He will not
crush, nor snuff out the smoldering wick. He will persist until justice is made
victorious and in him all the nations will put their hope».
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.
