We are not alone . God is much greater than the devil, and He is with us in our struggles . The good is much stronger than the wicked . Certainly it is very difficult to walk on the path of love , but it is worthwhile ! I’ll tell you a story in regard to this :
I was at a gathering of priests when they called me on the phone , that three of the children have escaped from our home, to go after them.
Some of them  had a good laugh at me, if I had that much sense to take in so many children then I should go and look for my kids .
I sat in my car with a livid heart  , got going  pledging that I am going to give them a clout round the ear . Then it seemed as though Jesus sat next to me and said : “Father Csaba no matter what these boys did , it does not give you the right the leave the path of love .”
I also talked about this often, but I also knew that at this moment this was only a theory . I felt that unless I can put this into practice now, I cannot preach about this anymore . I was fuming with rage , but then another thought came to mind : “very well my Lord , but at least I would like to take them by the ear , that is not such a big deal . “
But as though back came  the reply :” Look I did not reach down from the cross to rearrange Herod’s ear .”
Father Csaba
