Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel….
Wednesday 3 May 2017
" Anyone who comes to me I will never drive away” says our Lord Jesus Christ in today’s gospel. It is good to see that Jesus has no conditions, filters, scales ! He does not weigh us up, does not test us however He embraces us ! He knows that His wounded children in life’s battles are knocking at His door and for this reason He does not approach us as a judge but as a healer. A soul, searching for God has to be aware always that Jesus Christ , the blessed sun of our life , shines on the good and evil alike ,gives Himself not only to those who are deserving but to the ones who without Him would get lost, would go under in their sins ! The angels do not take Holy Communion in heaven , because the Eucharist is the food of the tired wandering Churches food along the way that is not a reward but a remedy ! Holy Communion is God’s infinite , gentle bending down to His stumbling children ,the fresh, cool water of an oasis in the desert for the stumbling wanderer , a heavenly kiss, that gives new birth to the man in the dust of the earth on a pilgrimage towards heaven !
I encourage you lovingly my brother to stand up and get going towards the light, get to know Christ who is loving, leading us through His sacraments ! On your pilgrimage from nothing to eternity may God living among us, in the holy Eucharist be your companion every day !
With love,
Father Csaba

Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. 36But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. 37Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and anyone who comes to me I will never drive away; 38for I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. 39And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. 40This is indeed the will of my Father, that all who see the Son and believe in him may have eternal life; and I will raise them up on the last day.’
John 6, 35-40
