Gospel
text (Mc 9,38-40): John
said to Jesus, «Master, we saw someone who drove out demons by calling upon
your name, and we tried to forbid him because he does not belong to our group».
Jesus answered, «Do not forbid him, for no one who works a miracle in my name
can soon after speak evil of me. For whoever is not against us is for us».
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.
