I am looking the disintegrating spring , in front of our home in Déva the flowering lilac bush ! The narcissus , the jasmin and the tulips have partially shed their petals , not long ado there was an inch of snow covering it , but behold the petals of the laburnum, the magnolia have already fallen down! The unceasing barrage of spring are besieging my heart, there is no stopping in nature , birth, bursting into bloom , and already the fruit is ripening , the blessed seed !" God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; “ Book of Genesis said our Heavenly Father at the dawn of Creation , before the Fall! And see , everything that lives keeps this commandment of God - no matter how adverse the circumstances are ! There is only one exception , man who wants to have fun , and because of all sorts of reasons postpones establishing a home , the holy duty of establishing a family , the acceptance of children !
Let us pray that we do not cause the loss of our human race by our timid coming to a holt or because of chasing after the pleasure of partnerless existence !! No matter how saintly we may live , we can sit daily in our churches , but if we sin against the commandment of God regarding race preservation, self-preservation, if we don’t dare ,can’t or want to live committed , pledged by life either in a family or even in a monastic community , then as a lawbreaker God will push us away from Himself !
A priest is called Father , the nuns are called Mother in the monastic orders and this is rightly so because all those who really serve life , they are all father and mother , they fulfil God’s very first commandment , they accepted life, they already have children !
Do not let life pass by you,
Father Csaba.
