Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel……
Tuesday 12 September 2017 Feast of the Holy Name Of the Blessed Virgin Mary .
I wonder why did our Lord Jesus Christ call apostles, disciples ?? Why did He send them out with the glad tidings of the gospel into the World ? Why is is He asking us to be perfect as our Heavenly Father ?
Because He trusts us ! Our Redeemer can see that immeasurable lot of suffering that is in our world, that unfortunately we are the cause of and He is convinced that we are capable, to grab onto the blessing outstretched hand towards us , and together we can build a better , more liveable, peaceful world together , where we can all feel at home !! This huge project that started two thousand years ago , that still has not ended ! Lets not blame the world and each other , lets not whinge that the end of the world is here, but stand with trust , living faith bt the side of Jesus gathering apostles ! Our Lord two thousand years ago, seeing the problems existing then , does not proclaim the end of the world, it’s not Him, but, Pilate who is washing his hands helplessly, our Redeemer is the advocate of hope , “there is a solution “, that is why our place is next to Him !!
I call you lovingly to become the apostles of Christ !!

Jesus departed to the mountain to pray,
and he spent the night in prayer to God.
When day came, he called his disciples to himself,
and from them he chose Twelve, whom he also named Apostles:
Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew,
James, John, Philip, Bartholomew,
Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus,
Simon who was called a Zealot,
and Judas the son of James,
and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
And he came down with them and stood on a stretch of level ground.
A great crowd of his disciples and a large number of the people
from all Judea and Jerusalem
and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon
came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases;
and even those who were tormented by unclean spirits were cured.
Everyone in the crowd sought to touch him
because power came forth from him and healed them all.
Luke 6, 12-19
