Live simply, so others can simply live.

According to scientist 34 trillion watts , this is how much light was emitted from the body of our Lord Jesus Christ in the fraction of a second after His tortured, crucified body was wrapped in the shroud of Turin that burnt His picture into it….

"Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain, by themselves. 2And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became dazzling white. 3Suddenly there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. 4Then Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I will make three dwellings here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” 5While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud a voice said, “This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him!” 6When the disciples heard this, they fell to the ground and were overcome by fear. 7But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Get up and do not be afraid.” 8And when they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus himself alone. 9As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus ordered them, “Tell no one about the vision until after the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.”

Matthew 17, 1-9

It is in vain to love a street kid in the quietness of my room ! They do not need to look into my tear-filled, gentle eyes , but  they have bread on their table, a roof over their head , food on their plate , a pencil in their hand , a blanket on their bed , and they get a good word , a caress.

If God entrusts me with a task I should not expect renumeration, thanks ! I have to thank God for finding me worthy so that I can save  His orphaned children . That You  found me worthy  my Lord to heal the sick , to teach children, to draw up plans for a house . To carry out my duty. How beautiful it would be if this spirituality would permeate the Hungarian society !…

Many times here on earth we do not see God’s loving presence , we do not understand many things, but it is quite certain that after our death we will realise and will be astonished to see , that every difficulty , suffering had its meaning , how many miracles were there in our lives , how often was God present with His love in our difficult moments , and helped across one or more hurdles that we considered just a coincidence or perhaps we just waved our hand in resignation : “ Oh this is nothing ! “ We’ll just sigh “ How blind was I , that I did not see this, that it never even entered my mind!”

You are not alone My son.

I am with you .

Because I am you

I need your humanity for the continuation of my Incarnation and so I can continue my Redemption.

I chose you since time immemorial,

Because I need you .

I need your hand to continue on to give blessing,

I need your lips to keep on proclaiming my teaching ,

I need you body , to continue on my suffering also .

I need your heart to continue my love,

I need you so I can continue my redeeming.

Stay with me My son…..

When in Déva our child protection home started , after a while a serious dispute broke out between the  teachers and myself about what we each of us  understood about the meaning of love.. Several of them said that a child who went through a lot of adversity has to be understood, accepted the way they are and it is not a real problem if they do not perform as well in school as they should. However I said, that I love the children as a good trainer and with hard work I  would like to train them so that they become champions. I knew I  could not create a different world for them , I have to prepare them to be able to succeed in the world as it is today.

Dare to become a parent, grandparent , a carer in the children’s homes !! There is a 4 years lapse between the photos and behold the small human-sapling has grown up so nicely …My thanks to the dear carer Éva for taking in the child fallen out of the nest!! I am praying that this desire for the service of life may surface ! I am praying that in all our homes our children have a suitable , wonderful carer !!

We await with trust all those , who gladly, with love will accept the service of life in the homes of the Saint Francis Foundation !

You may apply either to me  but any person in charge in any of our homes as well !

With love,

In reality it’s not how much you work , or the type of work one does decides how tired we get, but whether our work  achieves  something, do we win , can we see a point to it !

Father Csaba

translated by dr k.e.

It is great to sit down , to meditate, to reflect on the secrets of God and this world, quietly adoring the Infinity . Searching , scrutinising the Lord’s message on the pages of the Holy Scripture. But it is wonderful to get going and bend down to a small child in need ! It is a holy act to take, accept that child  into our lives, and to share all the material-intellectual-spiritual beautiful and good values that God in His overabundant love gave us.
