Gospel
text (Mathew 13,54-58): Jesus
went to his hometown and taught the people in their synagogue. They were amazed
and said, «Where did He get this wisdom and these special powers? Isn't He the
carpenter's son? Isn't Mary his mother and aren't James, Joseph, Simon and
Judas his brothers? Aren't all his sisters living here? How did he get all
this?». And so they took offense at him. Jesus said to them, «The only place
where prophets are not welcome is their hometown and in their own family». And
He did not perform many miracles there because of their lack of faith.
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.
