Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel..Thursday 24 May 2018….Feast of Mary ,help of Christians .
Your being given to you as a gift you yourself have to also live through , experience as a gift , but kindheartedly you also have to change every moment of your existence into a gift !!
I arrived home safely to Déva ! I arrived and going around taking into consideration my duties! What are my tasks in the days to come ?? My job description is very simple always the same, but never boring : To worship God and to love my “neighbours" living here as myself ! Yes, to love, consciously making our children, colleagues and naturally all those knocking on our door nicer, purer richer!! It is very important to make ourselves aware that when we arrive after a long journey : “ you came for , you exist for that you love , to do good , to heal wounds, to console , to encourage, to give strength , momentum , emitting light you shine like the lamp on a holder for everyone !!”
My Lord , my Master , I am here ,
tired but ready for immediate action , for love , so that what is bent I can straighten , what is torn , quietly before anybody notices it to sew together , to sharpen the blunt knife , so that things may work better in the house!! I am here my Lord that following Your example by dispensing blessing I become a blessing, that by sanctifying my brethren in my own insignificance I also become sanctified ,that being a true, lesser brother of all I can become their all! I beseech You my Lord, help me that all the tasks I have received from You , with Your help I can carry to a satisfactory solution!
On Your marvellous road Your stumbling child,
Father Csaba

Picture: yesterday I was still in Szárhegy.
Jesus said to his disciples, ‘If anyone gives you a cup of water to drink just because you belong to Christ, then I tell you solemnly, he will most certainly not lose his reward. ‘But anyone who is an obstacle to bring down one of these little ones who have faith, would be better thrown into the sea with a great millstone round his neck. And if your hand should cause you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life crippled, than to have two hands and go to hell, into the fire that cannot be put out. And if your foot should cause you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter into life lame, than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. And if your eye should cause you to sin, tear it out; it is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell where their worm does not die nor their fire go out. For everyone will be salted with fire. Salt is a good thing, but if salt has become insipid, how can you season it again? Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with one another.’
Mark 9:41-50
