Father Csaba’s reflections  on the gospel for today:

Monday 26 December 2016  Feast of Saint Stephen our first martyr.

On the feast of Saint Stephen, our first martyr , we remember with  love all those who suffered , suffer for their stand for the truth, at the same time we ask  for perseverance, strength with the intercession of Saint Stephen , so that we are also capable to stand up for truth dressed in love !! 

I also pray with lots of love for all our children, colleagues, friends named in his honour !! Today I’ll remember them in the midday mass,

Father Csaba

translated by dr k.e.

Jesus said to his disciples:

“Beware of men, for they will hand you over to courts and scourge you in their synagogues, and you will be led before governors and kings for my sake as a witness before them and the pagans.

When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say.

You will be given at that moment what you are to say.

For it will not be you who speak but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

Brother will hand over brother to death, and the father his child; children will rise up against parents and have them put to death.

You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved.”

Matthew 10, 17-22
