Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel ..Thursday 26 January Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul the Apostle
Jesus does not only gather His apostles , they are not only getting ready for years for the tasks , with lots and lots of smart spiel , they are not only becoming friends , planing while having some vine , but straight away He names the tasks and sends the chosen ones into the harvest :"Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature." Mark 16, 15
Jesus does not fritter away the work , nor details the tasks endlessly , He simply wants the whole world and all its creations ! How great it would be if this great momentum, trust courage, force of Jesus would permeate us as well! Two thousand years have passed , and unfortunately, even though immeasurably more tools, technics , opportunities are at our disposal , we still don’t dare , cannot formulate such brave goals , with determination set ourselves such tasks , even if Europe’s existence , the future of Western Christianity is at stake !
Christ is the same today , as He was two thousand years ago , He encourages, sends us even today and quiet certainly with the same force , wisdom, authority stands by us and the tasks , goals ahead of us are not lesser either ! Every generation again and again has to discover the living gospel , and one also has to learn to embark on the road of wisdom , love, charity !We cannot simply will our spiritual treasures to our descendants , they have to be given birth to and with wise love the joys, difficulties leading to eternal life have to be shown to them !! Lets get working !!
With love,
Father Csaba

Jesus appeared to the Eleven and said to them:
"Go into the whole world
and proclaim the Gospel to every creature.
Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved;
whoever does not believe will be condemned.
These signs will accompany those who believe:
in my name they will drive out demons,
they will speak new languages.
They will pick up serpents with their hands,
and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them.
They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
Mark 16, 15-18
