One of the greatest sins of our days is people’s abstract love, the impersonal love towards those , who are somewhere far away .
It is so easy to love those people , whom we do not know ,whom we have never met ! As that does not involve making sacrifices , and beside this we are so satisfied with ourselves ! This is how we cheat our own conscience ! Love that neighbour of yours with whom you live together and who is a burden to you !

The living faith - just as the vision for a painter- gives meaning to a person’s life, wandering , existence here in this world . Our wrestling with ourselves is not a tragic monologue , but a constructive , planning dialogue with the Infinity .
For the seeing, sensing of the divine mysteries often we have to get down on our knees.

God is open for the smallest babbling , the simplest talk . He can hear even from our stuttering the love, trust , goodness we feel for Him. Even from the most artful beautiful words He senses , if there is no trust, love , obedience , goodness towards Him . He sees into our hearts and what He finds there is what is important , not our words . I am not expecting beautiful, flattering words from the children either : they put their arms around my neck , they mumble a few sincere words and that is enough for me .

God has many faces and it is quite certain that the biblical scholar reading the Bible , the friar glorifying , eternally worshipping God in the holy Eucharist , as the parent taking care of his own or I who tries to go amidst the poorest is meeting with the same living God . Jesus said , that the one who gives only a glass of water to the least of all , is giving it to God Himself . He Himself is saying that He is present in the man who is in trouble, the fallen ones . Not the same way as in the Blessed Sacrament or in the Holy Scriptures, but that person can experience the same deep encounter with God , who is journeying along the way of love .

One of the features of the love of Christ is that it is endless . It is not for twenty-thirty years that He loves us , not until , like many people , till we are beautiful, kind , interesting , kind-hearted . No, "Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken,”.(Isaah 54, 10) . This “never” , this “endlessness” is what grabs me , knocks me back . He loves me even if I make mistakes , He loves me even if I cause pain .

A spoken word lives an independent life , but can set into motion such effect , that person who uttered the word would have never even thought of .

I only ask one thing from my Creator for myself and that is that following the example of Mary carrying God in my heart , happily, joyfully singing the Magnificat I can be at the service of my own Elizabeth-s, to carry out that work that my brothers need the most . I would like to accomplish this work day after day with a Marian spirit , happily that others would not even do if they were paid for it !!!
With the love of a lesser brother,

As to who you are going to be , that you decide : I believe that the world, our people need “Mary-s.”! Unfortunately there is no shortage of betraying Judas-s , Peter-s turning their back or judging Pilate-s amongst us . Many can only shout “crucify Him “ ! Or just foolishly looking around and do not understand anything , others just sink into themselves crying and cannot see a way out from our world drifting into hatred. We have to be Mary-s ! Filled with love , joyfully trusting singing the Magnificat , helping with good intentions , Mary-s with honest, enduring hard work making the world around us better! We can be children happily serving Life and Love so lets strive for this !!
I lovingly wish everyone a beautiful feast of Mary on the 15th August!

Mankind is going through one of the greatest crisis in history regarding the question of faith , whilst I can see a great hunger for faith - more and more people realise that being well-off financially , wordly joys , human relationships can never perfectly satisfy , fulfil this , for some reason in general they get disappointed. Saint Augustine expressed this as such :You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you.” Our human heart created for infinity is yearning for perfection, for infinite goodness, love, understanding, truth, wisdom . The beauty is that in God we can find all this .

Life is not measured in money , careers , but in laughter , happiness , high spirits . I accompanied many people on their last journey and nobody talked about about what they possessed , but they look back on the happy days , the joyful moments and regret the time wasted, when they did not decide by love .

The rainwater passes through the muddy clay into the depth of the soil and surfaces again as a crystal clear spring to quench our thirst- the same way the priest’s unworthiness does not prevent him , from Christ acting through him in delivering the sacraments . It is only in the delivery of the sacraments : baptism, hearing confessions , at the consecration of the Blessed Sacrament is there an assurance , that his even his sinfulness cannot prevent the fruit of grace , till in other actions of his , his human weakness, fallibility leave a mark.
