Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel Tuesday 5 June 2018
Give to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s :
We are getting ready for the close of the school year … here is the time for reckoning ! I ask all the people in charge of the houses , the daycare centres with love , to write a report with how many children they started the school year, how many of those reached their goal, and with what results , what was their mean, their behaviour like ! God’s most precious gifts , the children with immortal souls have been entrusted to us ! We have a responsibility for every single child , it is good if we also give an account of every single talent in our care for ourselves ! The big question is in the 2017-2018 school year were the children simply put on “ice” or in joining forces with the teachers, colleagues did we make good use of the values they possess ?! God wants every single kindergarten , school children to grow in kindness and wisdom day after day.
It is important not to try and “massage”, “ beautify" the results , we cannot lie to God in any case , we can only deal with the problems, the worries successfully if we are honest with ourselves ! Lets try to finish the school year nicely, honestly and lets try to concentrate on this . The organisation of the next school year has to be rethought in light of all this !
Give to God the things that are God’s :
The end of the school year is a time for thanksgiving as well ! Every house should invite the local parish priest to say a holy mass and our children can express their thanks to our supporters who have been invited prior to this event ! The schools will organise their own end of school year ceremony, but it is important that we also say thank you to God publicly all the good, nice things we received during the past school year from the goodness of our loving , caring God !
I would also like to receive photos, reports from our houses' end of school year’s ceremonies!
At the end of a school year the accountability for me, for you as well is our duty that goes with our work ! Lets carry out our work with respect to God and our supporters as well honestly !
With love,
Father Csaba

Then they sent to Jesus some Pharisees and some Herodians to trap him in what he said. And they came and said to him, "Teacher, we know that you are sincere, and show deference to no one; for you do not regard people with partiality, but teach the way of God in accordance with truth. Is it lawful to pay taxes to the emperor, or not? Should we pay them, or should we not?" But knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, "Why are you putting me to the test? Bring me a denarius and let me see it." And they brought one. Then he said to them, "Whose head is this, and whose title?" They answered, "The emperor's." Jesus said to them, "Give to the emperor the things that are the emperor's, and to God the things that are God's." And they were utterly amazed at him.
