Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel….Friday 7 September 2018

Is the bridegroom with us ? Repenting I think ashamed about the “bridegroom”  who is standing in front of the door and knocking :"20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.” Book of Revelation 3, 20

Yes , the dearest visitor is knocking and we are just running about, being officious , committing sins unfortunately , and in the meantime we are forgetting that by sitting at whose feet , our lives could become days of celebrations !! Let us quieten down , because it is only this meeting, this joyful togetherness that can light up our lives with the joy , light of the wedding feast !!

With love,

Father Csaba

Then the Pharisees and the scribes said to Jesus, "John's disciples, like the disciples of the Pharisees, frequently fast and pray, but your disciples eat and drink. Jesus said to them, "You cannot make wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them, can you? The days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast in those days." He also told them a parable: "No one tears a piece from a new garment and sews it on an old garment; otherwise the new will be torn, and the piece from the new will not match the old. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins and will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed. But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. And no one after drinking old wine desires new wine, but says, 'The old is good.'"

Luke 5:33-39
