Our God , the gift of Your grace is that Your followers follow You with one will. Grant your people , that we love what You command and we yearn for what You promise , and in the midst of this continuously changing world we whole heartedly follow You , in whom we find our true joy. Through our Lord Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with You in unity with the Holy Spirit . one God for ever and ever .Amen .

The greatest sin of our days is the abstract love of people , an impersonal love for those who are somewhere far away . It is easy to love people whom, we do not know, the ones whom we ‘ll never meet ! Since then there is no need to make sacrifices , beside all this we are so satisfied with ourselves ! This is how we cheat our conscience. Love that neighbour with whom you live together and is a burden, a nuisance for you!

Our hearts , yearnings should not be filled by inanimate objects , but we should choose life and serve that with great- great love !

One aspect of the love of Christ is that it is infinite . He does not just love us for twenty-thirty years , not as long as many people , whilst one is beautiful , kind , interesting , kind-hearted . No, “for the mountains may move and the hills disappear, but even then my faithful love for you will remain.”Isaiah 54, 10. This “never , this endlessness , is what captivates me, knocks me back. He loves me even if I make a mistake, He loves me even if I hurt someone .

If someone really wants to get to know me look into the eyes of those children I am bringing up.
I was having a chat with a former teacher of mine who taught Hungarian language and it came up during the conversation that earlier I used to write poetry , and asked me whether am I still writing now as well .
Yes , I replied but nowadays -like every parent . I am not putting my thoughts on paper but try to inscribe them into our children hearts , and that you can only read from their glances .
With love ,

During the course of my work with needy families I experienced that just as in mathematics , in life as well there are always good solutions . There are answers to the problems where by all can have a satisfactory outcome . We have to find these satisfactory outcomes in our own microcosm , in the lives of the people living around us , but we also have to search for, find these “ good solutions “ in the life of the big family of mankind.

People are often mulling over at some length on the negatives , instead of knuckling down and doing something worthwhile . By helping others , I simply forget about my own worries, problems .

In the life of Saint Philip Neri I also saw it, like in mine : that how good it is to live in contentment and love . I never felt it as a burden or sacrifice what I am doing . The writings about the life of Saint Philip regard his serenity, optimism as his most important characteristics . Probably he also felt , the same what an adult living among children always does : how lucky is the person , who received this calling from the Lord : to take care of sincere, unspoilt children!

All of us “got our invitation to the heavenly wedding feast “ where God and man “can sit at the one table “ and I believe that these innermost pure yearnings of ours will be filled by God .

Lord the waves are battering us , we are afraid , we became very small , insignificant in this disrupted world , there are so many bad news , so many aggressive people , hatred in the incoming tide!…We beseech You to come into our midst , calm down the turbulent elements and bring peace to Your children , because we are anxious , afraid that we’ll perish! Clutching onto Christ with trustful heart I lay my head down to sleep in this tossed about boat !
Wishing all peaceful nice dreams ,

..I was thinking , it would be good to meet with happy man. No matter where I was searching , from what I saw that only those people are well- balanced , who are searching for God , live in His presence .
