Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel……
Tuesday 20 June 2017
"Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. “Matthew 5,44-45
Jesus’ words should be seen as a an instruction manual for our lives !! Lets take it seriously , stick to it and we’ll see how everything will become simple, clear , feasible !! Lets trust in our Lord who created the world , surely He also knows with certainty how will this all work optimally !! I tried it, often I loved even those in whose presence even in me the alarm bells were ringing , but I did not flee, I did not shout however I stayed , and I can thank this for bearing many fruit in my life!! Love is such a force , that also forms you, sanctifies your surrounding ! Take into your hand the magic wand of love, Jesus gives it to you and use it.
With trust,
Father Csaba

43 ‘You have heard that it was said, “You shall love your neighbour and hate your enemy.” 44But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45so that you may be children of your Father in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous. 46For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax-collectors do the same? 47And if you greet only your brothers and sisters,* what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Matthew 5, 43-48
