'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'

Retreat with Father Csaba at a shrine of our Lady at Szentkút.

I don’t rely on myself looking for God, but that God is looking for me . There is a significant difference between the two.

Father Csaba

translated by dr k.e.

God is not only the God of Justice, Love and Mercy as well. He sees the course that we should have run, but He also knows our capabilities , knowledge, ignorance, our surroundings. He shows us clearly what we could not have been  held responsible for and also the ones , that were really part of our duties .

Father Csaba

translated by dr e.k.

By what I create, I create myself. I also know, that I did not get disabled  nor did I get burnt out by bringing up children but I was born to a fuller life.

Father Csaba

translated by dr k.e. 

The really important things are presents, don’t have to push yourself to get them , you only have to bend down humbly to take hold of them . A good friend, an unexpectedly opening gate , that opens onto unlimited perspectives, the branches that bend down to you under the weight of the rich crop- gifts of the new kingdom. The sign of God’s goodness that brings you to your knees !!

With love, 

Father Csaba

The man of the middle ages amidst his despair, difficulties very often drew strength from the Kingdom of God , to persevere on the right track . Today’s man leaves the way of love so easily, so many times because he does not believe in the Kingdom that God creates for those , who worship Him !

With love,

Father Csaba

The essence of love is that I pay attention to others , empty myself. Our Lord Jesus Christ did not come for an 8 hour day from the Kingdom of Heaven , that He can also part- time take care of troublesome “heavenly” affairs , after what He had put straight in earthly matters , but He emptied Himself so that we may be His only concerns - the Holy Gospel uses a very beautiful Greek word for this “ kenosis” . The essence of love to forget about myself and I live for others.

With love,

Father Csaba

If I even though a sinner , yet I can still love our children , then how much more can our heavenly Father love them! Of course He does not withdraw sulking, if we get into hot water , He loves us even then and is compassionate towards us even if our relationship with Him is not unclouded.

Father Csaba

translated by dr k.e.

Two thousand years ago with His infinite love God gave Himself to us. As a defenceless infant He came amongst us , nestled into Mary’s arms and since then again and again He is reborn on our altars , in the holy Eucharist . “ I am here, I am yours, I trust in you !” Living present .

Father Csaba 

translated by dr k.e.

Our dearly beloved Heavenly Father, I ask you very, very humbly , to give us strength , that we concentrate on the tasks you entrusted us with ! Help us that we use all our time, energy carrying out our own duties well. Help me understand , that it is much better even if stumbling , to carry out our own task than sticking our nose into other people’s affair. I ask you humbly that I can magnanimously endure , tolerate "the seeds of dissension” in other people’s lives , and that in my own life I bear a hundredfold “crop” , for Your glory , and for the benefit of my beloved people .
