Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel….
Saturday 27 May 2017 " ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.”
My children’s success, progress , thriving and happiness is the joy of my fatherly heart !! We best can serve God’s glory by our own thriving , progress, joy!! The most beautiful praising of God in this world, in the dignity as a child of God by the freedom this gives us ,is the happiness of one’s successfully developing large family ! The envious, sly man trampling on others , eating out of the hand of the evil spirit , plotting murderous plans, on the path of self destruction is a tragedy not only for himself , but for God as well !!
Lets ask from God the grace of the willingness for a dialogue !
With love,
Father Csaba
translated by dr k.e.
Jesus said to his disciples:
"Amen, amen, I say to you,
whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.
Until now you have not asked anything in my name;
ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
"I have told you this in figures of speech.
The hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figures
but I will tell you clearly about the Father.
On that day you will ask in my name,
and I do not tell you that I will ask the Father for you.
For the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me
and have come to believe that I came from God.
I came from the Father and have come into the world.
Now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”
John 16,23b-28
