Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel….for Tuesday 21 August 2018
‘Then who can be saved?’ But Jesus looked at them and said, ‘For mortals it is impossible, but for God all things are possible.’
Only Jesus knows the way into the kingdom of heaven , into eternal life ! Our Master not only knows the way but He Himself is the way and at the same time He is the goal as well !! Without Him nobody can be saved , because the One obtaining salvation is the Salvation Himself !! The kingdom of heaven is not only a gift , but the Giver Himself ! The living personal community of love the Holy Trinity ! Salvation is nothing less then , sitting at the one table with the Infinity , and immersed, absorbed into this welcoming, heart opening community of love ….
With love,
Father Csaba

Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Truly I tell you, it will be hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.’ When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astounded and said, ‘Then who can be saved?’ But Jesus looked at them and said, ‘For mortals it is impossible, but for God all things are possible.’ Then Peter said in reply, ‘Look, we have left everything and followed you. What then will we have?’ Jesus said to them, ‘Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man is seated on the throne of his glory, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields, for my name’s sake, will receive a hundredfold, and will inherit eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.
Matthew 19:23-30
