On the feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin to Elizabeth, I greet you with lots of love ! Mary carrying Christ in her womb sets out , guided by the serving love !! Lets leave our usual comfort zone and lets get going with God in our heart on the road of serving love , because miracles await us. 

With love,

Your journey has not ended yet. As slowly you let go , as superfluous odds and ends the worldly things , you age with dignity . It is good to rest after a work well done . And as you look back , you’ll know it would have been a pity to stop anywhere along your life’s journey .  Your life will become complete because you journeyed it to the full , every stage of your life had its own beauty , gift, that made your existence complete .

Kind words are short and easily said, but their echoes are really infinite .

Saint Teresa of Calcutta 

I am very grateful to Saint Francis or Szent Stephen and to many who became my examples , to whom I look up to and to whom I can give thanks for a lot of things .

In a tucked away little village , Kackó I was saying mass one Christmas Eve. Nobody came from that parish ( there was not really anybody to come , it was a harsh without a congregation) , and when in the ancient church dating back to the age of  the Árpáds I said :”The Lord be with you! “ -it was so good to believe that not only the visible world exists, but the community of saints , the choir of angels as well , this way in the utterly empty church I could celebrate the mass with pure joy .

If a heavy piece of furniture has to be shifted, moved , we can try it by ourselves as well , but how much easier it is, when several people hurry to our aid.

I would not like to offend anybody …Where the way I think, I perceive things is determined to a great extent by the surrounding where I grew up. If I go consistently, with faith , love on the road ahead of me , then quite certainly it will lead me to the Living God .

I encourage everybody to look for, search for, ask questions continuously , examine everything , strike it hard with a hammer , that, that conviction, philosophy into which one was born into does stand on firm ground ? Examine its fruits in your own and others lives: does it give spiritual peace, does it help in ones development, does it give strength in difficult situations, in time of suffering , does it push one into servitude , am I self-centred because of it , or does it help to become open toward others …

Just because , Jesus called Himself God, He payed with His life for this  , as this was the biggest thorn in the side of the high priests , this is why they sent Him to be crucified .

Jesus was also a true man. He ate , slept, rejoiced , felt fear, suffered temptation and felt pain , like anyone of us. He does not put on our humanity as a piece of clothing , but becomes true man. I believe and profess the two thousand year old teaching of the Church : Jesus Christ is the Son of God, true God incarnate in a real man, and His human heart shows us perfectly God’s heart .

Often in this world we do not see the kind-hearted presence of God, we do not understand many things but it is quite certain that after our death we suddenly realise and we can  be shocked to see that how much difficulty , pain were for a reason, how many miracles were in our lives , how often in difficult moments God appeared with His love and helped us through hurdles, difficulties , that we put down to chance , or perhaps we just resigned to the fact :”Oh this was nothing! “

Praise be to God we arrived safely to Rome, on the way we visited the tomb of Saint Francis as well in Assisi ! Tomorrow on the feast of Saint Peter and Paul I hope will meet with Pope Francis…

Have a blessed nice day,

What is more precious in our lives : the building of a house , a good deed , a merry Christmas dinner or a serious illness ? How can we cleanse our spirit better ? This is a big-big secret . 

First of all it is our spirit that has a great need for suffering : gold is tried , cleansed in the fire .

From the point of our salvation also it can be a very important ,valuable period. Amidst suffering one can see much more clearly one’s decisions , life and can come to such a decision that one’s existence can be raised to a higher level. 

It is a fact that the “good thief “ could only repent on the cross with his dying breath, to cry out , Jesus Christ forgave him saying to him : "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”Luke 23, 43. 

It speaks more beautifully than any word , if a mother on her sickbed patiently, lovingly , showing an example to her children offers her suffering for them , bears her pain, her cross with dignity  Even for the family members this should not be just a burden, difficulty but it can also be an opportunity to express , strengthen their love . In their surrounding perhaps there are those who may reflect upon : life is this fragile , and perhaps they take their own more seriously .

Ordination… 29 years ago… May God’s blessing be upon you Father Csaba .

I was ordained a priest on 26 June 1989 by Bishop Jakab Antal in the Cathedral of Gyulafehérvár together with 24 of companions !!!! Today , 26 year later with members of my year we remembered this beautiful day in Máriaradna ! In the sacrifice of the mass we asked our God to renew the grace of our ordination in our hearts ! The attached picture was taken after the ceremony !! We prayed for our dear parishioners , but we are also asking for your prayers so that we can really be God’s precious gifts ! 

With love,
