Man is vulnerable , we keep our integrity in a fragile  earthenware dish , and even the greatest  man can be corrupted by the evil spirit  who tries to destroy the values he posses .

The evil one has no entry into man’s most inner sanctuary. The only one who can enter there is the one we willingly let in.

Love , gentleness , goodness , patience can build a bridge  across two worlds , trust gives rise to trust , friendship to friendliness . If we step instinctively on Christ's way , who, even though is the great God who created this world , on the night of Christmas came among us infinitely gently , as a defenceless Child ! That burning love felt towards us , made our Lord Jesus Christ small, weak, vulnerable and not only on the night of Christmas but for ever ! Our only hope God kind-hearted gentleness ! That gentleness , that infinite love , that made the great, powerful God into a vulnerable child snuggling up to us ! Strength in the weakness , greatness in the vulnerable smallness ! Wonderful !!

We should not just admire our Master’s gentle patience with which He is approaching us but we should also be each other’s kind hearted lesser brothers ! Lets not live in our own little enclosed world , passing judgement , wounding others , but lets approach each other with this with this christlike gentleness trying to bring out the goodness , the saint from each other . Love gives birth to love and it also brings to the surface from us who love , and from our companions whom we love that we could not have even dreamt about ! Love leads us to the land of miracles , that produces such joy that takes us up to the Kingdom of Heaven !!!

Love is the only force  that can open such new vistas not only in the life of mankind but even in my own everyday as well ! I often said to my children that the christlike love is a real magic wand , that if we take it into our hands following the example of our Master , and if we use it with His kindhearted spirituality it will make miracles happen in our lives !

I was thinking , how different  our world  would be, if we would try to approach each other with such kindhearted goodness trying to bring peace !

With love ,

The first prayer you can say : Lord help me, to be able to believe in you . Grant me the gift so that  with living faith I believe that I am not shouting on a desert island ! Help me so that I may believe , that even if I cannot see You,  even if I am feeling my way in the dark , You are here beside me and You hear my voice .

Thanks be to God these days we do not get (yet) incarcerated , but the everyday fallibilities, sins can frequently , severely restrict the freedom of all us !That is why there is a great need for the sincere brotherly admonition -like the one that Jesus also encourages us to do . 15 “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses. 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.”Matthew 18, 15-17

I am not naive , I am aware that one is small , weak , fallible , I also know ,that I also am stumbling on the way from nothing towards Infinity ! In my life so far , who lovingly told me my faults looking into my eyes and warned me with brotherly strictness , I included into my prayers , because a really good gardener is weeding his flowers ! That is why I ask you humbly this day , that by telling my faults into my face , trustingly admonish me , help me to break my chains that hinder me in my progress towards God ! Yes , I encourage you that with infinite tactfulness to address each other privately and lets help to break lovingly , but with relentless determination the chains holding us back from our soaring towards heaven ! Lets present each other with prayerful love with the freedom worthy of the Children of God !

A wonderful message  if you fulfil God’s will ,then you can also have such a beautiful , deep , living relation with our Lord Jesus Christ like Mary had with Her precious Holy Son !! It is an astounding mystery , an exquisite door that opens wide before us to the infinity !! God’s will is very simple : “ Jesus teaches us thus : ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself. ( Mt 22, 37-39)

What one becomes is determined by one’s actions. Our actions have repercussions on us.  Good  deeds , virtues make us better and better , bad deeds  , sins soil us, weigh us down . Our deeds become parts of our personality . We cannot be good without becoming good by them

We cannot strive for truth, without becoming truer and truer . We cannot keep on lying so  that sooner or  later  we don’t become liars.

Our deeds transform us.

I was left with nothing , and yet I was filled with such a feeling of riches that I never experienced before , understanding that I can receive everything by giving away all that I have .

Before I started theology once God let me sense His blessed presence . At first I got really frightened knowing my own insignificance , I curled up , close my eyes, put my fingers into my ears , I started shouting so that I may not hear , see anything , yet that knowledge that my God raised His glance at me, took me into consideration, filled my heart with incredible strength, joy . Yes God is infinitely great and pure, the praying man is quite aware of his weaknesses , insignificance , almost feels annihilated , but despite this is longing for the magical, blessed presence of his Creator, The blessed living sun, even if it burns ,  even if it almost blinds one , despite all this by experiencing its presence our hearts are filled by overflowing joy. For me these quiet , prayerful moments gave the strength for the priestly , monastic life and even today these pure moments are the ones that help me through all the difficulties of life.

There are sins that no matter how much we would like, we cannot  make amends for . For example when someone

slanders others, gossips , the words are like  fluffs scattered in the wind it is impossible to gather all of them. If a man  deserts his family , the children grow up without a father , the happy childhood cannot be given back again no matter how sorry they are . Even though God forgives , but the damage caused remains .

Father Csaba

The sin of others does not give me the right to commit a sin !!! The fact that my father was imprisoned  by the communist , was broken , that does not give me the right either,  to neither vengeance , nor by denying my humanity I also step on the path of hatred ! The wounds of the past are not going to be healed by neither by hatred , nor  revenge , but by love !! 

With love ,
