Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel….
27 August 2017 - Twenty first Sunday in Ordinary time .
Who is Jesus for me !? Even today this is the question of primary importance !! For me Saint Peter’s question is the winner : "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Modern physics teaches us the material world was born out of energy !! I believe and profess that the infinite love and goodness is capable in our material world to become flesh, I believe that God’s infinite love towards us became incarnate in Jesus Christ two thousand years ago ! I also believe that in the sacrifice of the holy mass , upon the prayer of the Christians gathered to the call of our Church , that same Infinite Love that became man at Christmas , becomes incarnate in the Holy Eucharist , comes amongst us!!
Humbly on my knees I profess my faith ,
Father Csaba
translated by dr k.e.
Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi and
he asked his disciples,
"Who do people say that the Son of Man is?"
They replied, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah,
still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Simon Peter said in reply,
"You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
Jesus said to him in reply,
"Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah.
For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father.
And so I say to you, you are Peter,
and upon this rock I will build my church,
and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it.
I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven.
Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven;
and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
Then he strictly ordered his disciples
to tell no one that he was the Christ.
Matthew 16, 13-20
