Father Csaba’s reflections on the gospel……

29 January 2017  Fourth Sunday of Ordinary Time.

In my understanding in Jesus' teaching about the eight beatitudes is that, blessed is the man : who worships his Lord God and only serves Him !

Last year in November 2016 a huge crowd gathered in Krakow as a result of a famous apparition, to raise our Lord Jesus Christ to  the throne . The event was also attended by the president and the prime minister as well . 

It is certain that in our country  such an event would be premature and forced , but I encourage you this Sunday  in the church , at the end of mass , in the quiet time after holy communion , alone offer yourself , with your weaknesses , even with your recurring sins to your God and ask Jesus Christ to be your king ! Do not be afraid to stand in front of your Redeemer , the holy scriptures teach us that God "A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out “ Matthew.!

He is the One who went up the Golgotha for you on Good Friday , quite certainly will take your decision seriously , that , by keeping God’s first holy commandment , worshipping your Creator , serving Him you regard this as the most important goal in your life!

Let Christ be your king , this way you not only understand one of Jesus' most beautiful message about the eight beatitude , but you will also experience that inner peace , blessing that is more precious and delightful than anything else and also is a proof of the blessed presence of our Creator !

With love,

Father Csaba

The Beatitudes

5When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. 2Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying:

‘Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

‘Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

‘Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

‘Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

‘Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.

‘Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

‘Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

‘Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

‘Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Matthew 5, 1-12a
