Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel….

‘Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.
Amazing , our Lord Jesus Christ is not saying that I have healed you, but that your faith has healed you ! Otherwise in His homeland seeing the unbelief of people Jesus made a comment upon this :”But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.
6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. “Make 6,4-6
With faltering faith my Lord I beseech You with trust hurry to my aid so I do not get lost in my unbelief !
With prayerful trust,
Father Csaba

Picture: The prophet Jonah
18 While he was saying these things to them, suddenly a leader of the synagogue* came in and knelt before him, saying, ‘My daughter has just died; but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.’ 19And Jesus got up and followed him, with his disciples. 20Then suddenly a woman who had been suffering from haemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak, 21for she said to herself, ‘If I only touch his cloak, I will be made well.’ 22Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, ‘Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well.’ And instantly the woman was made well. 23When Jesus came to the leader’s house and saw the flute-players and the crowd making a commotion,24he said, ‘Go away; for the girl is not dead but sleeping.’ And they laughed at him. 25But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl got up. 26And the report of this spread throughout that district.
