Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel..Friday 6 July 2018
God and man sit at the one table !! The Infinite and the speck of dust looking into each other’s eye merrily sharing a glass of wine ! This is so nice it’s hard to believe !! God does not peep at us from far away clouds, but wants to be part of our everyday lives !! After His resurrection He asks for baked fish and eats together with His stunned disciples !! Informality, simplicity, reachability availability many beautiful graces are the beautiful traits of our friendly God !! I should try to put into practice these beautiful features of Christ, leisurely sit down at the one table with the people living around me !! My brethren, we will be together in eternal life as well , God is not going to prepare a seperate table in the kingdom of heaven for everyone !!
With love,
Father Csaba
translated by dr k.e.
As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth; and he said to him, "Follow me." And he got up and followed him. And as he sat at dinner in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came and were sitting with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?" But when he heard this, he said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have come to call not the righteous but sinners."
Matthew 9:9-13
