Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel Sunday 11 February 2018 6th Sunday of Ordinary time
Moved with pity, Jesus… Mark 1,40
Love , goodness, attentiveness !! Pure human emotions ?! It is good to see that Jesus is not a cold fish, but guided by love , goodness , emotions is carrying out His redeeming mission !! Nowadays so many people live with a cold, calculating indifference , and only by observing one compass, the economic indices do they make their final decision !! Yes unfortunately many, many people move forward apathetic , tired , paying attention to no-one and foolishly looking only at their momentary interests , consumes, possesses , piles up the “treasure” that rust will consume .
I encourage you lovingly lets embark on Jesus’ way and in all our work our heart should be filled by love and goodness and with merciful attentiveness let us follow our brethren’s everyday life !!!
With love ,
Father Csaba
translated by dr k.e.
A leper came to him begging him, and kneeling he said to him, ‘If you choose, you can make me clean.’ Moved with pity, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, ‘I do choose. Be made clean!’ Immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean. After sternly warning him he sent him away at once, saying to him, ‘See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.’ But he went out and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread the word, so that Jesus could no longer go into a town openly, but stayed out in the country; and people came to him from every quarter.
Mark 1:40-45
