Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel 28 January 2018 4rd Sunday of Ordinary Time

“….he taught them as one having authority, “Mark 1, 21

Every truth is worth as much , that can be utilised  from it in the real world !Jesus’ teaching is important for me because life stems from it ! I can picture the face of an ordinary little boy who came from a very poor  family whom I took in , in the light of Christ’s teaching and tried to raise him with my colleagues ! The years passed and today this young man is holding a job down , created a home and is getting ready to have a family , with his face shining with joy he is giving thanks for what he has, what he  has achieved , for being alive and for having friends ! I visited him yesterday and he introduced proudly the family that took him in in Budapest, becoming his parents replacing his own , taught him how to operate heavy machinery , and leading a life with a purposeful , diligent work building his future ! After my visit yesterday Dani sent me the following SMS : “ I thank you all very much for visiting me . For me it was a dream come true to sit at the same table with the people who formed my life ! May God bless you , and thank you for my dream coming true ! I thank you for making a man out of me and not letting me get lost , THANK YOU! With lots of love Dani.

Jesus’ teaching , the commandment of love is like a terribly simple mathematical formula , that if we apply to our everyday life , it will always bring wonderful results ! Anybody can try it and they will experience , that Jesus’ teaching works successfully even under the most difficult situations ! I encourage you lovingly to read the gospel , embark on its way leading into the world of miracles , try this in your everyday life , the commandment of love and you’ll also experience the formative force of your Redeemer ’s teaching directing your life in the right direction. 

With love ,

Father Csaba

When the sabbath came, Jesus entered the synagogue and taught. They were astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. Just then there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God." But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!" And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. They were all amazed, and they kept on asking one another, "What is this? A new teaching - with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him." At once his fame began to spread throughout the surrounding region of Galilee.
