Gospel
text (Mc 1,14-20): After
John was arrested, Jesus went into Galilee and began preaching the Good News of
God. He said, «The time has come; the kingdom of God is at hand. Change your
ways and believe the Good News». As Jesus was walking along the shore of Lake
Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net in the lake, for
they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, «Follow me, and I will make you
fish for people». At once, they left their nets and followed Him. Jesus went a
little farther on and saw James and John, the sons of Zebedee; they were in
their boat mending their nets. Immediately, Jesus called them and they followed
Him, leaving their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men.
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.
