In the eyes of your God who keeps count of every glass of water given out of love , each saved, comforted life carries a much greater weight than your human blunders or even your sinful mistakes. And the one you comforted , helped , supported  at the last judgement will be your advocate with love and gratitude , your merciful consoler !

A Christian's behaviour should be the same as Jesus Christ’s , who on the cross did not ask the “why-s” , but with enormous humility, even with His last breath says ‘Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.’ Luke 26, 46 . It would be important , that in difficult moments we remember these words of Jesus and that we could say : My Lord, my Heavenly Father , maybe I do not understand why certain things are happening to me , I am sorry that I was born , every minute hurts , I am suffering every moment , but I offer my spirit into Your hands , because I trust in You , I know that You are wise and You will heal my wounds.

Yearning towards the Infinity is about as old as mankind .

Man is continuously searching for the answers to the big questions of his own existence : What’s the purpose of living if I am going to die in any case , I’ll be buried and after a hundred years no-one will know what thoughts , desires, plans I had ? Can I be happy when happiness is so fragile , so fleeting , when an unexpected accident , and illness can destroy my dreams any moment ? Is it worthwhile to struggle, trouble myself , establish a family if this hopeless, unpredictable fate is awaiting me and my descendants ?….

Man’s heart created for Infinity is unsettled , the joys, relations in this world can never completely satisfy, fulfil them.

I understood that by giving my all to God I can receive everything. In the yoke of love and goodness I sensed the freedom leading me into the arms of the Infinite God. I was left with nothing and yet , I was filled by a feeling of riches that I never experienced in my life before .

The Heavenly Father’s opinion is what is important , He knows our intentions , our lives, the values, talents that we have received . Our inner peace should not depend on people’s words, smiles .

Father Csaba

For a monk it is not the freedom from something that is essential , but the becoming free for something . Not the  giving up of something that is the essence  , but that through this I can serve the Entirety , the living God and He can possess, hold me in love .

Father Csaba 

translated by dr k.e.

One  should not be afraid from the cleansing power of spiritual confrontation , often from its very dark night . Tempers , hard feelings, fears by getting to the  surface become conceivable, manageable. 

Father Csaba 

translated by dr k.e. 

The omission , the lack  of a caress, a word of praise , caring, consideration often is much more painful than slap in the face .

Father Csaba

translated by dr k.e.

Lets not believe that a priest came from an another planet , he is a perfect being , free from all human weaknesses , free from any faults , temptation , sin. He was also made from the same substance, material just like any other human being . Only in the delivery of the sacraments is there an assurance , that even his sinfulness cannot prevent the fruit of grace , whilst in other actions the human aspect of his weakness , fallibility can leave a mark. 

Father Csaba 

translated by dr k.e. 

Even from the greatest depth one can get up to the light , the way to  eternal happiness is not barred to anybody. In fact the repentant  sinners often feel even a greater desire to compensate God for their idled away , squandered love, life , the same way as that debtor as well, who had a great debt cancelled.
