Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel……
Friday 24 February 2017
Holy communion for those who remarried!? It would be good if this question would not divide our Mother, the Church , but if the theologians could humbly, peacefully look at this important issue and discuss it !! I am afraid that the time will come when this question no longer will be about finding the will of God , but about authority !!!
What is my opinion ?
It is quite certain that here ,as well as in any other question our Lord Jesus Christ’s teaching is the only compass . This compass certainly even now, as always is pointing in the direction of mercy and love !! The final answer for all those concerned God will give through our conscience ! I believe in the final victory of love.
With love,
Father Csaba
translated by dr k.e.
"Jesus came into the district of Judea and across the Jordan.
Again crowds gathered around him and, as was his custom, he again taught them.
The Pharisees approached him and asked, "Is it lawful for a husband to divorce his wife?"
They were testing him.
He said to them in reply, "What did Moses command you?"
They replied, "Moses permitted a husband to write a bill of divorce and dismiss her."
But Jesus told them, "Because of the hardness of your hearts he wrote you this commandment.
But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female.
For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.
So they are no longer two but one flesh.
Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate."
In the house the disciples again questioned Jesus about this.
He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”
Mark 10, 1-12
