Gospel
text (Mt 13,1-9): Jesus
left the house and sat down by the lakeside. As many people gathered around
him, He got in a boat. There He sat while the whole crowd stood on the shore,
and he spoke to them in parables about many things. Jesus said, «The sower went
out to sow and, as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path and the birds came
and ate them up. Other seeds fell on rocky ground where there was little soil,
and the seeds sprouted quickly because the soil was not deep. But as soon the
sun rose the plants were scorched and withered because they had no roots. Again
other seeds fell among thistles; and the thistles grew and choked the plants.
Still other seeds fell on good soil and produced a crop; some produced a
hundredfold, others sixty and others thirty. If you have ears, then hear!».
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.
