Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel….

Thursday 26 January 2017  Memorial of Saint Timothy and Titus bishops.

I admire Jesus’ trust He chooses twelve then not long after that another seventy-two and sends them in His name on the road of love and goodness, so that they teach, heal, spreading His joyful gospel! These people get started , go and by their work they lay down the foundation of the Christian world, carrying out their tasks and whole continents become Christian ! Today’s Church ,is like a haughty maiden waiting to be invited for a dance , till somebody applies to join the priesthood, monastic life !! And when somebody , very rarely knocks on our door , then they are subjected to an extremely long theoretical training !!

“The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.” ! I am praying that we’ll be filled by our Lord Jesus Christ’s faith , trust in mankind , lets dare in our Master’s name to reach out to, call young people to make our world more beautiful and better !! Come lets not allow our society to fall apart , in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, with His strength lets get going, quite certainly He does not only send , but following in our footsteps gives His blessing on our work !!

I took this photo in Kászon in the Saint Katalin home! I invited the teacher/carer, Kinga from Budapest to look after the orphaned children, to love them and care for them !We had a good talk on the way , I did not teach her teaching skills just asked her to love them very much and teach them the skills that they will need during their lives !! I believe that all women instinctively know all what a mother should know !! Kinga has a family of 9 boys , they are not angels and yet -I just talked to her- she is not only saying that all is well , but her voice sounds full of joy and is cheerful !! 

Dear young people , I also call upon you in the name of service and Love , come because it is good to be good , it is good to embark on the way of Timothy and Titus !!

With love,

Father Csaba

Jesus Sends Out the Seventy-Two

After this the Lord appointed seventy-two[a] others and sent them two by twoahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go.  He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.  Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.  Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.

“When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’  If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you. Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house.

“When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you.  Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’

Luke 10, 1-9
