Father Csaba’s reflections on the gospel….
Monday 23 January 2017
Jesus’ words are not only meant for countries but also for our smaller communities!! If a family " a house (family) is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.” !!
That is why I precisely ask you, with love to pray for our families , that they live their lives in harmony, love and that the inner tensions may be solved by calm dialogue !!Lets ask for God’s grace that they can extinguish the flame of anger, hatred with love and merciful forgiveness , before it overcomes their lives and destroys their precious little sanctuary , their family home !!! Let us pledge to our God and each other as well, that whatever happens we are not going off the path of love ! Any kind of even slightly raised voices , the slightest quarrel , lurking anger like our mortal enemies should be banished for ever from our lives , lets not let the evil one like a roaring lion , crippling our earthly lives ,condemn our bodies, spirits to eternal damnation !!
With love,
Father Csaba
translated by dr k.e.
And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.”
So Jesus called them over to him and began to speak to them in parables:“How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come. In fact, no one can enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man’s house. Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.”
He said this because they were saying, “He has an impure spirit.”
Mark 3, 22-30
