Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel Monday 18 June 2018
"Do not resist an evildoer. “….Matthew 5, 38
I am very grateful to Christ, because I do not have enlist, I don’t have to fight , I don’t have to conquer anybody , annihilate by force , trick, intrigue to destroy ! Yes , we do not have to conquer people who think differently, but with love, goodness, patience we have to convince them that it is much better to live as good brethren in peace , harmony , then hate, be angry , to be in enmity !It is better to be good for all of us than evil ! Jesus Christ is not only encouraging that we walk on the way of love , but He himself walked on this path ! His example , teaching , is a shining torch, a compass for us ! Well-well two thousand years later in every country of the world the Christian churches, sanctuaries are standing , and even if stumbling , but in the greatest Church several hundred million people are following the crucified, but risen Christ !
This is our way , this road can be travelled on !
With love ,
Father Csaba
translated dr e.k.
Jesus said to the crowds, "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you, Do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other also; and if anyone wants to sue you and take your coat, give your cloak as well; and if anyone forces you to go one mile, go also the second mile. Give to everyone who begs from you, and do not refuse anyone who wants to borrow from you."
Matthew 5:38-42
