You have to learn to laugh at your own failures and stubbornly, obstinately , if need be start again from the beginning.. languishing in a comfortable dead-end street cannot be an alternative.

Often it does not make sense to get down on our knees again and again, to try and embrace values , although they attract us , yet they seem to slip out from our hands , but grace purifies us and raises us up even when seemingly our purity seems to evaporate. Sinners, feeble, fallible , pilgrims perhaps we are the hundredth but we can count on God , because our journey is fraught with danger and we have a great need for His help .

Prayer in the Armenian church!
Aleppo 22 April 2018
Little Margit turned 9 years old yesterday....her wish was to have her ears pierced , well she got a nice pair of earrings from her carer, her grandparents rang her but unfortunately her mother and father could not even wish her a happy birthday. How much would that have meant for this little girl ? This is where the Saint Francis Foundation is doing a wonderful work , how can parents not appreciate their three beautiful daughters being brought up by the foundation.
Special thanks to Babi nevelő and others who made her day so special.

To all our requests we should add , that not my will should be done but the Heavenly Father’s.
Unfortunately they are those who in their thoughts pray the Our Father : “my kingdom come , my will be done !” , who mix their own notions with a large amount of self- assurance , religious selfishness , quote passages taken out of context from the Holy Scripture and that is what they call faith. God loves them as well , does not want their destruction, ruin , but again and again offers them the grace of conversion.

First holy communion of the Catholic children of Aleppo Sunday 22 April 2018
Father Csaba
I do not think, that God would let difficulties, illness, worries , tragedies out of fun, it is not possible that He accidentally dosed off , and a painful event just happened to slip into one’s life, everything has a reason here on earth . He is not a sadist to find joy in our pains , but our wise Father , who would like us to grow up into eternity , and sitting together with Him at the one table He can share with us not only the joy of eternal life , but His divine wisdom, His caring goodness , His world forming power .
For this at times we need God’s sculpting chisel , hammer . We have a need to be cleansed at times , to be free of our vainness , haughtiness , arrogance, and our eyes to be opened to the more profound truths .

Your journey never ends, because God is infinite , and you need infinite time to roam infinity - do not be anxious , you have time, you are immortal. Trust in your God who called you into existence and presented you with the miracle of the unfolding life He wants in His wisdom, goodness, love , that you get to know everything, and you also experience the joy of existing, being. You are on a journey from the non-existence towards existence , every day is a gift so that slowly you yourself become a gift .
