Father Csaba’s reflections on the gospel today..

Wednesday 21 December 2016

Mary enters  the house and even "the babe leaped  for joy" ! How great it would be if around me, around you ,people would rejoice when we appear somewhere! How good it would be if our presence would give , radiate joy, light , strength, health to those living in our surrounding, happiness to the home that we enter !

For the man born from a handful of dust the most sublime goal would be to become a  gift, a blessing there in the land from which he was taken and to which he shall return in  his death ! The rest is up to our Creator ! That is why I encourage youth with a great determination , willingly you yourself become a Christmas blessing , gift for your loved ones !

Wishing you a blessed Christmas ,

Father Csaba

translated by dr k.e.

In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah, and she entered the house of Zechari'ah and greeted Elizabeth.

And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and she exclaimed with a loud cry, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.

And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfilment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.”

Luke 1, 39-45
