Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel for Wednesday 29 November 2017

" I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking

that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute.” Luke 21, 19

My Lord, my God with trust in Your promise we speak to  and approach You, and ask You to send prophets into the world, who in the sight of Your Holy Presence quietening down hear Your message and humbly show the way for this close on 8 billion people in this world ! There are lots of problems , poverty, sin in the world ! Without You we are likely to be at each other’s throat , and everything will be raised to the ground in our big cities , villages ! We need You , teach, shape , lead us your priests so that we really proclaim Your Holy Word with resounding force to our brethren ! It is certain that there is a future , there is a way that leads us to a peaceful , happy, fertile life ! We ask you to show us and grant us such eloquence , that as a result of our words , the scales fall from the eyes of our brethren, that they may be freed from their greedy, vain, sinful  yearnings for pleasure and embark on the road of unselfish love, merciful goodness, carefully considered action!

With love,

Father Csaba

Jesus said to the crowd:

"They will seize and persecute you,

they will hand you over to the synagogues and to prisons,

and they will have you led before kings and governors

because of my name.

It will lead to your giving testimony.

Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand,

for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking

that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute.

You will even be handed over by parents,

brothers, relatives, and friends,

and they will put some of you to death.

You will be hated by all because of my name,

but not a hair on your head will be destroyed.

By your perseverance you will secure your lives.”

Luke 21, 12-19
