Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel……Friday 16 February 2018
"The wedding guests cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, can they?
The songbirds can be recognised from their nice colourful plumage ,, the redeemed , man in the state of grace about his optimistic good cheer , Cristian joy , because that fills their whole lives!According to Jesus Christ , the spirituality of the men who take their Christian spirituality seriously should be like the wedding guests at the festive feast . We are small , we tend to stumble , we know our own limitations , but in the thick of the worries , problems , in the quietness of the time of repentance the hearts of the good Christians the christlike serenity, optimism is hiding , that is the godlike magnificence of the light falling upon us through the widely opened door of the kingdom of heaven by our Redeemer!
Jesus’ whole earthly life is determined by the living faith in humanity , because if He doubted that we are capable to stand up from the dust and together with Him to step into the shining word of the Holy Trinity, then He would not have come on Christmas Eve amongst us , would not have taken on the earthly life , would not have climbed the Golgotha carrying His heavy cross ! Jesus our bridegroom loves us, He accepted huge sacrifices for us , that is why for us the lives of the Christians redeemed by His precious blood should be characterised by the joy of the bride glowing in mutual love !
With the worshiping of the one God in the holy Trinity ,

Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?" And Jesus said to them, "The wedding guests cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, can they? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.
Matthew 9:14-15
