We live in the age of the Golden Calf!! Mankind has cast himself an idol out of wealth, that like a huge whirlpool, turmoil relentlessly draws, grinds down into itself its victims driven by consumerism, possession, a desire for power ! The force of this suction tears out of our arms our young people, carries them away into far away strange lands , and unfortunately only very few of them realise that in exchange for their bodies , souls they only receive something that moth and rust will destroy !!

Lets cling onto our loved ones, our friends, our churches , our homeland, into Christ’s redeeming love !! Lets not give away for glass beads our irreplaceable, real treasures !

With solicitous love,

Father Csaba

"Reality can very often be disheartening, the tasks can be overwhelming our strength , capabilities yet we still cannot let go wearily , that the continuously challenging everyday destroy our world order. Our duty, our God-given task is not to mourn , passively cry over our slowly dissolving values , but try and preserve, humbly continue building our society , all that is important to us , that our ancestors entrusted us with , that also determines us, as part of our life .”

Father Csaba

The everyday struggles are not meaningless fights, coming to grips , but one grows up because of these to the Kingdom of Heaven. Do you have the momentum in you to restart, not to give up the fight ? You have to be like the dragon with seven heads , if one of its head is cut off , three will grow instead of the one . Do you have it in you that clinging onto our Lord Jesus Christ you restart the struggle , because as long as you believe, as long as you love , you are invincible ?

In all of us tomorrow’s saint is there, but so is the base villain as well. We should not be judges but healers. Lets stand by the side of the ones gone astray and lets help them to remove their armour . We should never forget , that in every Saul lurks a hymn of love .

If this world would be in order , everything in its place, it would have never occurred to me to become a priest , to give myself to God , to give Him my hand, my heart, my all !

An incredibly vast perspective would have closed off before me. Perhaps I would have been sitting on the beach , smoking. I feel this life immeasurably richer , that ,again and again sets about , trying to bring the indifferent world closer the Heaven .

Work is not a result of the original sin , does not stem from our inclination to wickedness, but it is a desire coming from the bottom of one’s heart , that one consistently has to surpass oneself . Continually we have to create a better Church than as it was . Constantly, , again and again I have remind myself of God’s commandments , laws deep within my own heart:

“Ecclesia semper reformanda -the Church is in need of constant renewal."

If at times our poor starve to death , it is not because God did not take care of them , but because you or I did not give ,but because  we were not the instruments of peace in God’s hand, because we did not recognise Him, Christ , when He came again in a tattered disguise,  as the abandoned one. 

Saint Teresa of Calcutta 

I admire that pure vitality that springs up in the children ! Those who are living  in our homes went through a lot of difficulties and yet all of them are like running mountain streams, that never tire stumbling into stones, they run , live laughing. The world around them bustles with activity , their boisterous  existence is a denial of all pessimism !

I believe in the blossoming life !!

Father Csaba

Clothe the truth into love, love into truth, if you do this our individual and community life will take flight, towards a sustainable , liveable future !!

Father Csaba

translated by dr k.e.

Our Lord Jesus Christ not only looked up the sick, but even sent out His disciples lovingly to the sick, our suffering brethren!! It is very important that we consciously look up our brethren in trouble ! Even during our celebrations ,the deliberate bowlng down, stoopng to the  suffering man  has to form part of ! Perhaps today we are sound, healthy , but maybe tomorrow we ourselves as well maybe in need of help, support! 

With love,

“ At times we think poverty is: To be hungry, naked and homeless. Yet the greatest poverty is to be unwanted, unloved and to know that nobody cares about us. We have to start curing this type of poverty in our own homes . “
