Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel Monday 19 February 2018
Christianity cannot be like a ghetto , it is not enough just to save our own spirit , even that is not enough if we just make certain the welfare of our family our immediate surrounding ! Even though there are the circles based on the priority of love ,after building from inside out our own ,our immediate surrounding, with determination with great love we have to start building the Kingdom of God !.The deeds of bodily , spiritual mercy are the building stones of the cathedral in which our Lord Jesus Christ will be our chief priest! Mankind’s most important task is to build this spiritual church , where God and man will be sitting at the same table where just like at the last supper our Master Himself will bathe, nourish His brethren with infinite love !
It is good to do good ! Lets become quiet in the holy time of lent , and consciously there where we are lets start practising with the spirituality of Jesus Christ the acts of bodily, spiritual mercy !!
With love ,
Father Csaba
translated by dr k.e.
‘When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, and he will put the sheep at his right hand and the goats at the left. Then the king will say to those at his right hand, “Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” Then the righteous will answer him, “Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?” And the king will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” Then he will say to those at his left hand, “You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.” Then they also will answer, “Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not take care of you?” Then he will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.” And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.’
