Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel Monday of Holy Week 26 March 2018

Life and Death !

The years are passing , we are travelling on a road , I believe that our wandering does not leads us from an existence into a non-existence but from a confined existence into Infinity !In death the tightly packed little particles enclosed within ourselves fall back, submerge , fulfilled into the infinite ocean! Our scientists bravely state it that even if space is not built of atoms but it is constructed of matter , the time , everything that surrounds us, everything that determines us also , creates!

Dearest Father Ervin , beloved Father Antal, I believe that based upon the teaching of Christ our Lord , you not only were but you still are ! My destiny , our children’s destiny has not only been but still is in your hands ! Love us in the quietness of Lent with Lazarus, Mary Magdalene ,the saints lead us to Jesus Christ, whom you loved more than anybody else and in whose company with you we would also like to be reborn joyfully ! Help us to love and to be loved , to find a home of this tiny piece in the whole of Infinity , this tiny piece of puzzle that found itself not giving up its existence , to be fulfilled in his Creator !

With the faith of Existence and Eternal Life ,

With love,

Father Csaba

Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, the home of Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. There they gave a dinner for him. Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those at the table with him. Mary took a pound of costly perfume made of pure nard, anointed Jesus’ feet, and wiped them with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (the one who was about to betray him), said, ‘Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?’ (He said this not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief; he kept the common purse and used to steal what was put into it.) Jesus said, ‘Leave her alone. She bought it so that she might keep it for the day of my burial. You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me.’

When the great crowd of the Jews learned that he was there, they came not only because of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. So the chief priests planned to put Lazarus to death as well, since it was on account of him that many of the Jews were deserting and were believing in Jesus.
