Father Csaba's reflection on the gospel Tuesday 10 July 2018
"'The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest.’ Matthew 9, 38
Not only in the days of Christ , but unfortunately even today there are not enough people for the harvest ! But today, not only by the altar , the pulpit are there few “labourers” but everywhere ! Day after day I am getting calls , that they are looking for young people, grown-ups for all sorts of work there is a demand but no takers ! Unless we can make our children, young people to like, undertake honest work, then slowly the Carpathian -basin will become depopulated !
For years now I am trying to draw attention , that our schools for incredible amounts of money are producing from year to year , half-baked , good- for-nothing school-leavers ! Father Pap László for over two decades declared in open forums that our schools are are like “ slave markets wrapped in tissue paper “ , where they are only getting generations ready , how they can buy themselves the tickets setting out for the western world , so that there they can sell to people “smarter” than themselves their physical, mental capabilities !
For the parents, the schools, the whole of society, but even for the Church their most important task is : to prepare our children that grown up , in their homeland to join forces and out of honest work to ensure for themselves , their families a proper standard of living ! The commandment of self-preservation , self-sufficiency is the first and most important commandment , it lays a heavy, unavoidable burden on us , that we have to prepare every child, young person for! Everything else is just secondary to this ! To sustain our common existence , life is our goal, if we cannot achieve this , then we have not achieved anything and our society built on welfare,consumption has failed it will collapse !
Perceiving the worries , the opportunities , paying attention to our conscience , God , using our physical ,mental capabilities , in the creative work , by becoming our Creator’s companions , with our honest work lets ensure a proper standard of living for ourselves and our families !
With love,
Father Csaba

Picture: The cows are waiting for an industrious farmer.
After they had gone away, a demoniac who was mute was brought to him. And when the demon had been cast out, the one who had been mute spoke; and the crowds were amazed and said, 'Never has anything like this been seen in Israel.' But the Pharisees said, 'By the ruler of the demons he casts out the demons.' Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, 'The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest.'
Matthew 9:32-38
