I like to imagine the quiet, simple cave in Bethlehem with the Holy Family inside with the Christ Child . What an astonishing simplicity ! The Lord of the Universe came with empty-handed into this world ! He does not bring anything , because He is the Blessing, the Gift !

Retreat with Father Csaba at a shrine of our Lady at Szentkút.
I don’t rely on myself looking for God, but that God is looking for me . There is a significant difference between the two.
Father Csaba
translated by dr k.e.
God is not only the God of Justice, Love and Mercy as well. He sees the course that we should have run, but He also knows our capabilities , knowledge, ignorance, our surroundings. He shows us clearly what we could not have been held responsible for and also the ones , that were really part of our duties .
Father Csaba

By what I create, I create myself. I also know, that I did not get disabled nor did I get burnt out by bringing up children but I was born to a fuller life.
Father Csaba
translated by dr k.e.
The really important things are presents, don’t have to push yourself to get them , you only have to bend down humbly to take hold of them . A good friend, an unexpectedly opening gate , that opens onto unlimited perspectives, the branches that bend down to you under the weight of the rich crop- gifts of the new kingdom. The sign of God’s goodness that brings you to your knees !!
With love,

The man of the middle ages amidst his despair, difficulties very often drew strength from the Kingdom of God , to persevere on the right track . Today’s man leaves the way of love so easily, so many times because he does not believe in the Kingdom that God creates for those , who worship Him !
With love,

The essence of love is that I pay attention to others , empty myself. Our Lord Jesus Christ did not come for an 8 hour day from the Kingdom of Heaven , that He can also part- time take care of troublesome “heavenly” affairs , after what He had put straight in earthly matters , but He emptied Himself so that we may be His only concerns - the Holy Gospel uses a very beautiful Greek word for this “ kenosis” . The essence of love to forget about myself and I live for others.
With love,

If I even though a sinner , yet I can still love our children , then how much more can our heavenly Father love them! Of course He does not withdraw sulking, if we get into hot water , He loves us even then and is compassionate towards us even if our relationship with Him is not unclouded.
Father Csaba
translated by dr k.e.
Two thousand years ago with His infinite love God gave Himself to us. As a defenceless infant He came amongst us , nestled into Mary’s arms and since then again and again He is reborn on our altars , in the holy Eucharist . “ I am here, I am yours, I trust in you !” Living present .
