Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel Wednesday 23 May 2018
"For whoever is not against us is for us.” Mark 9, 40
God shared with us His omnipotence! We can create not only something good , but also the bad! We can bring out from each other the good, the saint , the just man, but unfortunately with the guidance of the evil spirit we can bring out not only from ourselves but from each other as well such base, sinful , evil things about the existence of which we have not even heard before ! Man is not this or that , man is a continuously changing dynamically changing entity , which are affected not only by the forces deep below the surface , but by the powers raging in their surrounding also have a forming effect !
In this changing , swirling world , for us only Jesus Christ is the only secure point, the quiet haven, I seek refuge in Him, I would like to live in His shining, calm presence , to learn from Him ! Our Master is encouraging us not to seek the evil , the confrontation in each other but with kindhearted gentleness , wise , patient talk, with good example -just like the blessed sun in the sky- lets try to bring to the surface , to draw out from each other the values, the life, the love ! What do you bring out from your wife, your husband , your colleagues to the surface , in every living being the good and evil are present ?
With love,
Father Csaba
translated by dr k.e.
John said to Jesus,
"Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in your name,
and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us."
Jesus replied, "Do not prevent him.
There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name
who can at the same time speak ill of me.
For whoever is not against us is for us.”
