Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel Tuesday 17 April 2018
'I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.’ John 6,35
It cannot be accomplished alone ! Our Mother the Church , for the last two thousand years , based on Jesus’ teaching believes and has been professing , that during the holy mass on the one hand in the presence of the bread and vine the same Jesus comes amongst us , who became incarnate on the night of Christmas , on the other hand we believe and profess that during holy mass in a bloodless way the one and only sacrifice of the cross becomes present ! The holy secret of Christmas and Easter becomes a reality during every sacrifice of the mass , and not only a devout remembrance , but a great mystery , for the believers a living reality , a realistic meeting with God in person! I believe and profess that in the presence of the Holy Eucharist man finds himself in such living , personal forcefield , where it is much easier , simpler to be good, to do good , to live in love ! During my childhood I was scared of the dark, but if my mother held my hand then I dared to go anywhere ! Now as an adult the same childish fear , anxiety can also reoccur in a difficult decision , but the holy communion, the presence of the sacrament permeates me , gives me strength and if I can feel the presence of the Infinity beside me , then I am not only filled by courage, trust , strength, but within my spirit every grace starts to grow, burst into flower and my heart is filled with joy and peace!
I would like to take my dear brethren ,as one thirsting to a crystal clear spring, to a sacrifice of the holy mass . I encourage everybody with the love of a lesser brother , to get ready for the first holy communion of their lives if they have not done so, so far , and to go regularly to the food of the journey of the Wandering Church , the blessed Eucharist !
It cannot be accomplished alone,
with love

Picture: The Holy Eucharist in the solitude of Saint John .
So they said to Jesus, 'What sign are you going to give us then, so that we may see it and believe you? What work are you performing? Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, "He gave them bread from heaven to eat." ' Then Jesus said to them, 'Very truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.' They said to him, 'Sir, give us this bread always.' Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.'
John 6:30-35
