Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel for Wednesday 30 August 2017
There is silence , after the hustle and bustle of the day , before I go to bed I look within myself , think about just how much do my words, deeds mirror my thoughts , my real inner self !! Unfortunately there are many Christians with dual personalities, schizophrenic, who love God , their fellow human beings in words , but in reality as they say “with friends like these….”!!
How much am I our Lord Jesus Christ’s trustworthy, honest , genuine follower ? I should only grade myself from 1-10 from hypocrisy ! How good it would be if would be heading for failure in this subject !! How great it would be if Jesus Christ would not have to despair over me !!
With love,
Father Csaba.
translated by dr k.e.
Jesus said,
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites.
You are like whitewashed tombs, which appear beautiful on the outside,
but inside are full of dead men's bones and every kind of filth.
Even so, on the outside you appear righteous,
but inside you are filled with hypocrisy and evildoing.
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites.
You build the tombs of the prophets
and adorn the memorials of the righteous,
and you say, 'If we had lived in the days of our ancestors,
we would not have joined them in shedding the prophets' blood.'
Thus you bear witness against yourselves
that you are the children of those who murdered the prophets;
now fill up what your ancestors measured out!”
Matthew 23, 27-32
