Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel for 

30 December 2016 The Feast of the Holy Family 

I admire God who out of love for us , out of a great trust  was made man !! How great it is now in the soft, warm comfort of our home surrounded by our relatives to prepare for the new year!! How wonderful must the unity of the Holy Trinity be , that is a world that "What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”  that our Lord Jesus Christ has left behind , so He would be shivering with cold in Bethlehem, like an outcast flee to Egypt into uncertainty  to save His life ! Our Redeemer did all this for us out of  love and goodness, even dying on the cross He still proclaimed His trust in humanity ! Yes so that man can enter the kingdom of heaven , God became man !!

Let us become still, and let us accept without a word some difficulties, problems , unpleasantness that are pertaining to our daily lives !!Let me be forgiving if something does not happen the way I  would like it , let us accept our own and our companions’ limitations ,stumbling !! . For the love of our Lord Jesus Christ !! 

With love,

Father Csaba 

translated by dr k.e.

Now after they had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, ‘Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.’ Then Joseph* got up, took the child and his mother by night, and went to Egypt, and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, ‘Out of Egypt I have called my son.’

When Herod died, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and said, ‘Get up, take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who were seeking the child’s life are dead.’ Then Joseph* got up, took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus was ruling over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And after being warned in a dream, he went away to the district of Galilee. There he made his home in a town called Nazareth, so that what had been spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled, ‘He will be called a Nazorean.’
