Gospel
text (Mathew 8,23-27): Jesus
got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Without warning a fierce
storm hit the lake, with waves sweeping the boat. But Jesus was asleep. They
woke him and cried, «Lord save us! We are lost!». But Jesus answered, «Why are
you so afraid, you of little faith?». Then He stood up and ordered the wind and
sea; and it became completely calm. The people were astonished. They said,
«What kind of man is he? Even the winds and the sea obey him».
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.
