Gospel
text (Mc 8,22-26): When
Jesus and his disciples came to Bethsaida, Jesus was asked to touch a blind man
who was brought to him. He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside
the village. When he had put spittle on his eyes and laid his hands upon him,
he asked, «Can you see anything?». The man, who was beginning to see, replied,
«I see people! They look like trees, but they move around». Then Jesus laid his
hands on his eyes again and the man could see perfectly. His sight was restored
and he could see everything clearly. Then Jesus sent him home saying, «Do not
return to the village».
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.
