Friday 27 January 2017
The seed !! I received green pea seeds, I am looking at the wrinkled  little seeds, there is an awesome force, impetus in everyone of them ! I will plant them in the nice spring and whether we sleep, or awake , it’s day or night the seed will sprout, grow even without itself knowing how !! As the sunshine with gentle caress and the warm gentle spring rain  brings out  life out of the earth , so that with their own beautiful flowers , crop, their simple existence , with life’s wonderful symphony to praise its Creator , the pure life-giving power of the gospel brings out from us the thinking, feeling, loving man, that being who gets hold of his companion’s hand , that with trust in each other , together they build the kingdom of God , a just, peaceful , dynamic society in which not only us  but the God who loves us will find a home !! I believe that we are capable to find that community in which  we can all live in peace like good brethren , create according to our capabilities for the benefit of our big family , so that the paradise lost , according to God’s original plan will be fulfilled for the joy of all !!
With love ,
Father Csaba 
translated by dr k.e.
He also said, “The kingdom of God is as if someone would scatter seed on the ground, and would sleep and rise night and day, and the seed would sprout and grow, he does not know how. The earth produces of itself, first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain in the head. But when the grain is ripe, at once he goes in with his sickle, because the harvest has come.”
He also said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable will we use for it? It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth; yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.”
With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it; he did not speak to them except in parables, but he explained everything in private to his disciples.
Mark 4, 26-34
