Father Csaba's reflections.

“Rabbi” , “where are you staying?”

39 “Come,” he replied, “and you will see.”

Wonderful ! How simple it is to meet, to make friends with Jesus?! Strangers address Him on the road and there is no waiting list, no protocol because whoever opens their heart the Lord enters ! The future disciples , according to the holy gospel , on that very day already slept at our Lord’s place! I like to imagine as Mary offers the young men a delicious dinner !! It is a simple, marvelous , peaceful scenery as the dinner , vine are consumed and the commandment of love becomes embodied , a new era starts , the redeeming of the world !!

With love ,

Father Csaba

John’s Disciples Follow Jesus

35 The next day John was there again with two of his disciples. 36 When he saw Jesus passing by, he said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”

37 When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. 38 Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, “What do you want?”

They said, “Rabbi” (which means “Teacher”), “where are you staying?”

39 “Come,” he replied, “and you will see.”

So they went and saw where he was staying, and they spent that day with him. It was about four in the afternoon.

40 Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. 41 The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, the Christ). 42 And he brought him to Jesus.

Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which, when translated, is Peter[a]).
