Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel…25 February 2018 -Second Sunday of Lent
“This is my Son, whom I love... !” Mark 9,5
Our world emotionally started becoming like a desert , pure emotions are becoming rarer , and if by any chance it flares up in our heart then we try to silence it, to smother it and if this does not work then we try to conceal it and not to show it !
It is good to see that our Heavenly Father is not a cold force , not a logically organising law, but a feeling, loving , kind-hearted Creator capable of showing His love! Jesus also often spends entire nights in worshipping the Heavenly Father and it’s good to see that this devoted love is mutual. The Holy Trinity is not inviting us to a big heavenly voluntary cooperative work but into a fraternity of love, where the greatest need is not for our work but that freely lead by our own inner decision we willingly become part of this Trinitarian community of love and we immerse ourselves in this infinite blazing ocean !
How much love is there in my heart towards my Lord God, am I able to show it , do I dare to put into words my gratitude , devotion , love towards Jesus Christ ?
Let me try it today also with the spirituality of my Heavenly Father to express my gratitude, devotion, living love towards my Redeemer !
With love towards God ,

The Transfiguration
2 After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. 3 His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. 4 And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus.
5 Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” 6 (He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.)
7 Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud:“This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!”
8 Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.
9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 They kept the matter to themselves, discussing what “rising from the dead” meant.
Mark 9, 2-10
