It is true even in the spiritual sense , that a parent can only set the table , but the child himself has to put his hand out after the nourishment on the table , he is the one who decides how much and what he consumes out of that .”

At the start of our spiritual life we try to tidy up the gross , great mistakes and put everything in order , but afterwards we have to endeavour to bridle our desires , thoughts as well.
In the past if something untoward happened , I was angry and I revealed my anger to others as well . Nowadays if something bad happens I think :”Hallelujah! Here is a good challenge to show how much is my faith, hope worth . Lets see how could this be solved the Christian way !”
For a while I just kept repeating this like this, but within me, in my heart tension, fury , anger were raging . Nowadays I notice very often that within me there is peace and curiosity : “ Well my Heavenly Father how could You solve this problem through me ?! “

GOD EXISTS-GOD IS LOVE !
The commandment of love is the most important . Truth has to be dressed in love and love into truth !
Never wander off the way of love whatever should happen in your life , because then you turn your back on God .

I believe that everybody that every human being has a right to eternal life , whether they only lived one or two minutes after conception , the same way as for those who lived for thirty , sixty ,hundred year in this world.

Walking around holding onto God’s hand does not mean sadness ! I do not feel deprived of anything !! Despite the everyday difficulties and struggles one experiences great spiritual peace , calmness , and one feels that life is worthwhile , just as the getting up in the morning , working , and our humble recommencements as well.

One of the nicest games ,that I really liked ,was one ,that a crying little girl taught me and it’s one that can be played at any time in the midst of lots of laughter ! It was the Christmas vacation. At times like this perhaps children are even more hurt by solitude . I went to one of the sad little girl she was probably 5-6 years old back then-unfortunately nobody came to visit her -I smiled at her mischievously and asked her: “ Do you want to play ?”( You never ask an orphan , what the problem is, because there are plenty of problems and why focus on those wounds it is so easy to open up those wounds ! ) The tiny girl's eyes lit up and told me : “ Lets play that you find me !” My eyes opened wide I thought of many games but not of one like this . I found out quickly the rules , I picked her up and a few times I threw her up high in the air , and in the meantime I was rejoicing , that well, how great it is that I have found her ! She was laughing and tried to catch the safe “port” my neck . Naturally I did not let her . Feeling happy that I found her I threw her up in the air a few more times then embraced her panting . The little orphaned girl , who was not looked up by or rung by anybody at Christmas , just laughed and laughed then smiling she asked me :” Are you also happy because you have found me ? “
The years went by , the little girl became a calm , beautiful mother . I did not succeed in solving her problems with her parents , but I succeeded to help her to get through this difficult, grave period of her life . And now, when we meet , even if I am not throwing her up anymore into the air laughing , we always play : how great it is that we found each other in this World !

The Lord does not order us around, He respects our personal freewill , our decisions .

We have to journey through life as well consciously , at some length. When one door closes behind us , somewhere another one always opens.
When the last door in their world closes , than the gate of eternity opens up through which it’ll be worthwhile to enter .
So far I liked every “course”, that God served up to me : it was good to be a child, it was good as an adolescent to build castles in the air , to open all the draws , curiously to peep under every bush . It is good as a mature man to make my dreams come true , to create beautiful, holy tasks , build a house , found foster families . And I know , that it will also be good to pass the values nice and slowly into the hands of the ones coming after me , then impishly trustingly to wink at them and get going towards “ the greatest adventure “.

The more our faith in the God of Love wears thin, becomes shallow , trivial , the more we want to search , here in this world, for a substitute for God. We start to idolise someone, anyone or anything, because we cannot live without God.

Weariness is much deeper seated than where our muscles are -it is in our heart .
Father Csaba
translated by dr k.e.
On the threshold of a new year I humbly ask for the grace of courage for my people , for humanity , for this wonderful big wide world . There were never such opportunities for continuing education, for teaching ourselves , for developing , for formulating our common dreams , and achieving those with faith , hard work ! Give us courage our God, so that we do not stop short ! That our human half-heartedness , our fears , do not crush our soaring, flight towards Infinity .
