Our God, You who through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary showered our people with countless good deeds. We honour Her as our Blessed Lady of Hungary and our Patron Saint here on earth , as our first king Saint Stephen offered Her the Holy Crown of our country . Grant us kind heartedly that once we rejoice in the Kingdom of Heaven for ever. Through our Lord Jesus Christ , Your Son , who lives and reigns with You in unity with the Holy Spirit , one God , for ever and ever . Amen ! (2013.10.08)

V. The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary,
R. And she conceived of the Holy Spirit.
Hail Mary, etc...
V. Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
R. Be it done unto me according to Your Word.
Hail Mary, etc...
V. And the Word was made flesh,
R. And dwelt among us.
Hail Mary, etc...
V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray:
Pour forth, we beseech You, O Lord,
Your Grace into our hearts;
that as we have known the incarnation of Christ,
your Son by the message of an angel,
so by His passion and cross
we may be brought to the glory of His Resurrection.
Through the same Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
It’s not important anymore what has passed. It’s not important whether the flame of my faith , love is flickering or extinguished, but what IS important am I strong enough to start anew, to get back on my feet , so that once again I may rekindle and blaze again.

The more we give from ourselves , the more abundantly we spread joy , grace around us. If I bury myself into selfishness, self-pity , if I withhold my time, my energy ,then I’ll become embittered , poorer and more miserable.
With love ,

The cold autumn has arrived, lets keep in mind our fellow human beings in difficulties and lets not only stress the duty of the state or others only, but we ourselves should also help each other , or at least pray for those who are cold, hungry!!
Our Lord God, You who take care of the birds of heaven, please take care of the poor and the orphans !!

Because whoever is the least amongst you -says our Lord Jesus Christ-is the greatest . I wonder how much do I desire to be the least there where I live ? Can I accept if I am not held in high esteem, if people smilingly just step over me and my will is not taken into account ??
“ God's servant won’t see just how much patience and humility is present in one- says our father Saint Francis- till everything goes according to their heart’s content. When the time comes that the ones whom we should please , things go against them , then it will become apparent just how much patience and humility they show then, and this is all that is in them and no more .” I should try to embark willingly on that road that does not lead to power, authority , does not lead my steps towards domination but to service accepted from love , and I just note that the more people’s problems I take on with humility , enduring work upon my shoulders the greater I’ll become in the eyes of God ! The less of a priority I am for myself , the more love and goodness will there be in my life , the more likely will God find a dwelling place in me !!
With love ,

Our mere existence means that God loves us . He does not change His mind, sorry , I made a mistake, cancel . In our mother’s womb He gave us our talents, our abilities : He lead our stumbling footsteps with His divine goodness, we have to trust in Him, and in that, that our earthly life does not end at our grave .

Man’s heart is for the purpose of loving, donating, giving It’s the death of a person when they become withdrawn if they only live for themselves . It may sound strange, but I believe that a good man is like a clean well , from what no matter , how much water one draws it is always full of clean fresh water.

How beautiful , when Mary and Joseph find the lost Jesus ! That infinite humility by how they greet Him : “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.”? The Blessed Virgin cannot understand it , why should a twelve year old little boy be in the church , when everybody’s place is at home . Well it does not matter-She thinks and taking His hand gently , She prays , ponders and they go home . This is real trust : you ask a question from somebody , the person answers you , you cannot really understand the answer-and yet you still trust that person ! You keep the other's answer in your heart , so that you can think about it . May God grant us that we get used to this : it is not necessary for us either, to understand everything ! Lets accept the world as it is , lets keep it in our heart , and with prayerful love do, what God asks of us . Love the world to become better ! The Blessed Virgin Mary trusts her Holy Son, She knows that He meant Her no harm , He did not hide in the church out of malice . She trusts Him. Without this trust one cannot bring out the best from anyone.

Our Lord Jesus Christ did not gather the scribes around Him so He could tell them that " spoken words can be lost but writing remains" - He did not want to dictate to them a project, an accurate time table as to how to follow Him. In the gospels we read that Christ only wrote something once in the sand ! He showed us the example of His life and said it over and over again -"Come follow me ! "

Often I admire God’s might , who can make the children’s love towards their parents infinitely strong . Often I cannot understand , how can the shoulders of one or more frail children carry so much tragedy . But it seems to me that this is not what is important . I should not analyse the children’s wounds , but lovingly embrace and carry them . To do everything I can ,that if they drifted into my arms , henceforth their lives should turn out according to God’s will.
