Saturday 28 January 2017
Jesus is asleep during the storm !! Tired from the demands of the day The Master dozes off ! How good it is that He did this because like this the apostles could experience God’s power ! It would be very important that we recite our father Saint Francis’ simple supplication: “ Who are You my Lord  and who am I ! ?”
Recently I watched a film on the big bang theory !  It is wonderful what unimaginable force gave birth , moves our universe ?? This picture of the world worked out by the physicists , helped me a great deal to meditate on the above prayer of Saint Francis and put myself prone to being self righteousness into my place!!
With love ,
Father Csaba.

Jesus Calms the Storm
That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him.  A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped.  Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”
He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
Mark 4, 35-41
