Our father Saint Francis , as his most precious gift , left the love, service of the poor to those who accepted, are carrying on his spirituality . In reality we undertook, formed an alliance that we become God’s answer to those , who in His holy name ask for help for their problems, anguish. Unfortunately because of our own smallness , in the name of God often cannot be of service to everyone, that is why first and foremost we listen to the request , often silent prayer of the children , but naturally we would like to be lesser brothers to all destitute , people in trouble .

We have to follow Jesus , who never calls evil good, so the Church cannot say it either , that sin is nothing , let bygones be bygones . But lets also follow our Lord even in that , that He turns with love even to the most hardened enemy. We have to aware , that Jesus loves them as well , died for them as well, and because of our unfeeling, lack of love , because of our heartlessness He suffers with them. Lets not cause pain neither to God, nor to them !
How is it possible that we cannot forgive those for whom Jesus Christ my God shed His precious blood ?! And how can I fallible man expect my Lord’s forgiveness , if I am incapable of mercy ?
Some else’s sin does not empower me to get off the way of love!

Lets regard Jesus’ words as instructions as to how to live our lives !! Lets take it seriously and lets stick to it , and we’ll see , how simple, clear, how easy everything becomes !! Let’s place our trust in our Lord , who created the world , surely He also knows how this is going to work optimally !! I also tried it , many times I loved those as well in whose presence the red light was showing, but I did not flee , I did not shout , but I stayed , I loved and many fruits, results of my life I can thank for this!! Love is such a force that forms you as well, sanctifies your surrounding as well ! Take into your hand the magic wand of love , Jesus gives it , and use it !
With trust,
Father Csaba
A former teacher of mine, who taught Hungarian, asked me whether did I still write poetry. Of course I answered . Where could he have a look at them he asked. In my children’s heart , I answered. I would not like to write my most beautiful thoughts on paper, or in the computer , but into the heart of my children, my carers , and into the heart, spirit, mind of every men of goodwill .

Theology meant six wonderful years for me, , that what I instinctively sensed on the Hargita , by now with the help of my teachers, my spiritual director, I could start to make a study of consciously. These days despite all my fallibility with infinite spiritual peace I profess with Saint Theres of Avila : “The one who belongs to God , does not lack in anything , God alone is sufficient .”

There is incredible joy in me, because I experienced that God with strong hands, caring arms catches me, lifts me up, again and again gives meaning to the decisions arising from faith. I needed time to understand that our life is nothing , than a continuous death-leap every new step, move is the letting go of something bravely, and falling into the arms of our caring God . A new workplace, establishing a family, accepting a child, but even a new relationship, a forming a close friendship ,every but everything is a smaller or bigger death-leap, and if we come to a sudden stop the unfolding of our life will stop as well , and following the example a Saint Peter we also start to submerge in our existence’s stormy Sea of Galilee.

Our Father, who art in heaven,hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever.
Amen.
In my fourth year in theology after the Christmas holy mass I stayed back in the chapel . I saw God’s infinite love totally emptied in His incarnation came among us as a child as I was looking at my Creator’s face . God is infinitely good and loves us, , but in front of the tiny crib I felt incredibly small, insignificant , a mud-stained sinner. It hurt me because I felt that I could not respond adequately, to this infinite love , with love. Jesus from the small manger stretched His arms towards me and only said one thing : “ Your sadness proves that you love me , since if you would not love me , it would not hurt you, that you cannot love me enough. Then you would have been tucked away in your own soft bed already .” I understood , that my abundant tears were talking without words , that despite all my sins I love God….. There and then to God’s infinite ‘yes” I said my own “yes “ humbly despite my own being ,as a handful of dust.

A child whom you accepted, took in lovingly will teach one pray. Perhaps only our ever-caring God knows how many times did I go down on my knees praying earnestly for our children over the past years ! Experiencing my own limitations how many times did I beseech our heavenly Father on my knees for a boy or girl, crying asking for them wisdom, strong spirit, perseverance, the grace of starting anew , and of course I asked for bread, money for the gas bill , good carers , with whom one can make a miracle in the world of these drifting, frightened , struggling children .
Share your bread with the hungry , says our Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, accepting a child is a form of fasting as well, how many things has the one who decides by accepting life give up . Real fasting comes from love, that is why it is sweet and easy and I believe that is also endearing for our creator God. We do not have to look for extraordinary , self-torturing ways of prayers , fasting , because if humbly we embark on the way of love , of acceptance, then the everyday will bring in abundance their inexhaustible source for self-denial , for prayer , lets just be able to accept , not to be overwhelmed by them carry them out for God’s glory !

The thread of our lives’ is like an infinite ball of wool, the first centimetres represent our earthly life , the rest is our eternal life . Our short wandering, roaming , our struggles seem infinitely long , but all of of our teardrops are dried by our heavenly Father .

The question is that in what form does Jesus Christ knock in your life ? It is quite certain that He’ll come to you as well! Perhaps in the likeness of your wife , who wanted to have a heart to heart talk for such a long time . Perhaps in the likeness of your eldest child , and perhaps that is why he is being so naughty because he needs your attention . I do not know. You have to ponder about this , be still , so that you can discover Jesus Christ knocking on your door. And , that you dare to take hold of His hand ! If seemingly He wants to guide you over a precipice, or through a burning fire , trust in Him even then and go with Him ! Believe that the Lord knows what He is doing.
