Father Csaba’s reflections on the gospel
Saturday 3 December 2016
Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give.” My Lord, You call us all, since with You every day is black Friday You would like to present everybody with Your graces to the fullest! I pray for courage , give us strength, wisdom that we enter the “treasury” filled to the brim with Your gifts, and all that we require for fulfilling our duties we grab by our “hands “ of faith , so that reborn ,enriched by Your gifts , we ourselves become gifts , Your living blessings here on this earth!!
With trust,
Father Csaba

Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, and curing every disease and illness.
At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd.
Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.” Then he summoned his Twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out and to cure every disease and every illness.
Jesus sent out these Twelve after instructing them thus, “Go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The Kingdom of heaven is at hand.’
Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons.
Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give.”
Mt 9:35B-10:1, 5a, 6-8
