Herrod had Saint John the Baptist killed ! The people are thirsting for revenge , they want to elect Jesus as the new leader , but the Master orders His disciples into a boat , sends them away them dismisses the people and He retires to pray!! The lake is hit by a storm and Jesus walking on the water goes after the disciples !!
One cannot play with sin !! Jesus goes on His own way !! If He would have gone off the straight and narrow there and then, the road of the commandment of love , formulated by Himself, breaking the rule of Herod to become the political leader of the people He would have destroyed by His own hand all that , that He came for and today together with many insignificant blood-shedding revolutionaries He would be remembered in the footnote of a book of no importance !! Jesus does not leave the way of love , does not abandon the narrow , but safe path leading to life, the real, lasting  victory, given by the Heavenly Father to Moses in the ten commandments !
Anybody can say anything but the accidents happening on the road are due to the violations of rules of the road !! If we would stick to the rules then all of us happily, peacefully could travel the world!!
Every problem, failure that either in my own, or else in the lives of the parents of our children I can see are due to disregarding the ten commandments!!You abandon the road of the commandments leading to happiness and either you inflict a “wound” or you “ hurt" yourself  , but certainly the world will be worse off , a darker place !
You can make yourself, your surrounding , the world better, more beautiful, more habitable by following God’s commandments and love !!
This is why I share with you again the commandments leading to happiness ,

When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were terrified. But he said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid." Then they wanted to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the land toward which they were going.

One of the greatest miracle for me is Jesus’ great self-control !! They behead Saint John the Baptist who is not only a forerunner of the Redeemer , but His relative as well, about whom Jesus Himself said  that,
"among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist!”Lets observe what Jesus does after this great tragedy?! He retreats to a lonely place but people are flocking after  Him by the droves and Jesus does not come to a sudden standstill but teaches, heals, consoles , and in the evening feeds the people, miraculously He multiplies the bread !! He does not sulk , He does not pant for revenge , He does not condemn anybody , but carries on with His task all that the Heavenly Father expects from Him, for what He came into this world for!!
Let us pray and ask for this peace for ourselves as well , this self-control  that during the difficult moments of our lives as well without protesting, grumbling , getting angry , we can do all that , that is our task, our duty !!
With love ,

After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiberias.  A large crowd kept following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing for the sick. Jesus went up the mountain and sat down there with his disciples. Now the Passover, the festival of the Jews, was near. When he looked up and saw a large crowd coming towards him, Jesus said to Philip, ‘Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?’ He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he was going to do. Philip answered him, ‘Six months’ wages would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little.’ One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, ‘There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are they among so many people?’ Jesus said, ‘Make the people sit down.’ Now there was a great deal of grass in the place; so they sat down, about five thousand in all. Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted. When they were satisfied, he told his disciples, ‘Gather up the fragments left over, so that nothing may be lost.’ So they gathered them up, and from the fragments of the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten, they filled twelve baskets. When the people saw the sign that he had done, they began to say, ‘This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world.’
When Jesus realized that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, he withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

Mankind today is facing a lot of problems ,according to many these different sorts of crises are arising from the consciousness of our identity sinking into obscurity ! Actually who are we, what’s the goal, the purpose of our lives ?? Jesus Christ He Himself is a gift , the Heavenly Father’s gift , but His life , and every minute He spent among us is also a gift !! If we really read the gospels at length we can see it in wonderment , that all His words, all His steps , our meetings with Him are a blessing , a cheerful caress, an exuberant , blessed gift beyond the bounds!!We all have to transformed to the image, likeness of God ! Our heavenly Father also meant us to be a gift, a blessing and we also have to endeavour that all our thoughts , words , deeds become a gift . Lets live in such a way that seeing our good deeds people will praise God !!
Come my dear brethren , lets do everything , that our existence may shine like a star in the dark night !!
With love ,

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Those who believe in him are not condemned; but those who do not believe are condemned already, because they have not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. For all who do evil hate the light and do not come to the light, so that their deeds may not be exposed. But those who do what is true come to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that their deeds have been done in God.

I admire the Master , that how easily Jesus , with self-explanatory ingenuousness , sits at the same table with people and initiates  serious , honest dialogue !! In today’s gospel with Nicodemus , but we all know well-as the whole gospel is about this- that He is ready  even with any number of strangers , at any time in a relaxed , sincere voice to have a chat ! Zacchaeus come down from the tree , today I would like to stay at your place !!
Jesus knows no boundaries , as we can see from today’s gospel , that He is open for a dialogue , getting acquainted ,  even in a hostile surrounding for a sincere argument !! How great it would be , if this nice feature , the willingness for a sincere dialogue would shine on the faces of the simple folk , on our faces as well , but even on the faces of our politicians leading the countries  also !! 
Straight talk,  is  the shortest route between two people .

translated by dr k.e. 
Jesus said, 'Do not be astonished that I said to you, "You must be born from above." The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.' Nicodemus said to him, 'How can these things be?' Jesus answered him, 'Are you a teacher of Israel, and yet you do not understand these things?
'Very truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know and testify to what we have seen; yet you do not receive our testimony. If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.'

I believe that all of us but especially the losers of the parties of parliamentary elections could learn a lot from the dialogue between the archangel Gabriel and Mary ! Lets try to quieten down the roused tempers , in the long weeks preceding the elections, create peace within our hearts and calmly reflect upon this short meeting changing the whole world ! The great angel, sent by our Infinite Creator God, who looks up and addresses Mary the simple, young ,village girl , looking at her through our eyes today a mere child . How much respect ,kindness is in this dialogue between the angel with an infinite power and a speck of dust! Mary does not understand everything , asks questions to which she gets a reassuring, sober, wise answers and a decision is born , Mary makes a choice , She decides by God and trustingly takes hold of Her Creator’s hand!
As a pedagogue , I see it clearly that whatever truth I would like to offer successfully even to the youngest child I have to do it with the calm, kind style of God’s angel ! Even in the nicest soup if we can see one or two flies floating we turn away from the nourishment even if we are hungry! 
A child has questions and if these can be answered in a reassuring way , then the one I would like to bring up, educate , form takes hold of my hand and together we can get going we can discover all the values, treasures that I would like to show them! All this can be composed, presented in a negative way ! Nobody can be made better by scolding , by beating !
There where the wise, calm, respectful voice, becomes offensive , violent, impatient shouting there people will become frozen , quieten down and regardless how valuable it is that you offer them they will reject it! Unfortunately in a lot of schools, churches , public places the messages will not get through because the frightening , repelling packaging in which they are presented ! How many precious values , how much endeavour, effort is lost, because our world is lacking in this kind, calm dialogue, respect for those who have different views , trying to find a solution for all problems !
Mary said yes to the angel of God, and this “yes” does not wear out with the passing of thousands of years , does not fade, because it was born out of mutual respect , wise, sincere dialogue and ever since then it is watered by sincere love that is never-ending !
Lets dress our truth into love and our love into truth and will achieve our common goals !
With love,
Father Csaba.

In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And he came to her and said, ‘Greetings, favoured one! The Lord is with you.’ But she was much perplexed by his words and pondered what sort of greeting this might be. The angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favour with God. And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David. He will reign over the house of Jacob for ever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.’ Mary said to the angel, ‘How can this be, since I am a virgin?’ The angel said to her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God. And now, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month for her who was said to be barren. For nothing will be impossible with God.’ Then Mary said, ‘Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.’ Then the angel departed from her.

Wake up call !! Humanity again and again as if struck down by a contagious disease , by a mass infection , at times like this the masses giving up all semblance of reality start chasing after a utopia !! After the events nobody understands where did the French go under the leadership of Napoleon but today we can no longer even understand why did so many people of sound mind, intelligent, move into so many castles in the air of fascism or communism without any reality , so that  there for years they would be fighting for ideals, sacrificing everything that was leading to nowhere ? These sorts of “attempts”remind me mainly of the different whales when they “beach “themselves in large numbers and there they struggling for days before they perish" . What were they looking for on  the shores , why did they undertake such a  senseless road leading to nowhere , that forced them to perish and the members of the animal-protection society to undertake a huge operation!! The common denominator in both happenings is that here and there as well , the masses incensed by one another “march"  into their senseless destruction !!
In Europe again a senseless  sickly utopia flared up again ! Now some people want the “save" the third world countries by hauling them onto themselves !! Young people, elderly people , people who never travelled in the big world , but also people who received  high qualifications mentally and physically are supporting and aiding the illegal immigration , in fact they see our future in that , if these people overrun us, and in mass move into our towns and villages !!
In the past days I sat down amicably and talked with several , otherwise sensible people who today would demolish the  barriers  protecting the Carpathian basin , so that anybody could come and go as they please ! I was astonished by this incredible naivety , this unfounded liberal utopia , by which they themselves as well, but based on  their notion it would be our duty , that "endangering our existence we would en bloc swim out to the dry shore “!! 
Jesus Christ took  (accepted) in Mary  Magdalene! The woman who was a sinner, not only repents, regrets  her mistakes , stumbling but she also breaks away from her sins , lovingly looking for the company of Jesus !! Yes , Jesus includes this woman into the circle of His closest  companions , whose many sins were forgiven , because she loved a lot  !! 
Nobody can accuse me of locking the door  of my house ! During the last 25 years a vast number of people stepped over our threshold, there were some who only came for a visit , but close on six thousand people took advantage of and are still taking of our hospitality !! With all those who want to come in through our door , be it children or adults we sat down, had a chat trying to obtain as much information as possible, to get to know those with whom we shared our homes, our lives !! I tell them very clearly that here they have to work , I give them clothing , food and accomodation, but they in return have to study hard , be obedient , day after day they “train”so that slowly they can get back on their feet , to go where life takes them they can become “champions”!!  To this effect we write a contract with them , that becomes null and void if they break it !! I do not let a child into my house, but consciously I take them in if they also accept these rules that are useful for them as well !! I believe that just letting someone in ,into a house, a country so there they can do what they want is not right and not allowable , but following the example of Jesus to take them into our lives , share our values lovingly with a stranger knocking on our door , even a reformed sinner is according to the will of God !

Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb; and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him." When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?" Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away." Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rabbouni!" (which means Teacher).

In the quietness of Holy Week , down on my knees my eyes are peeled to my Heavenly Father’s face. He sees ,knows , accepts everything in advance . He is marching in the days turning around just like Abraham on the mountain of Moriah knowing that there is no billy-goat ! Sweating blood he obediently follows Jesus , firewood on his back , knowing that Isaac is the victim! The bloody Golgotha is a great secret of the Holy Trinity ! My Heavenly Father I never went down on my knees before You during Lent even though I know it’s easier to obey than want freely ! In Jesus’ obedience towards You there is the infinite love illuminating everything , the sweet knowledge of my redeeming of the world! But in the will of the Heavenly Father loosing His Son I only see the pain! For the terminal illness of human existence arising from the primeval state , You prescribed by Your own hand the Golgotha for Your Son, the suffering of Good Friday, the only medication , that can swing us over the swamp of selfishness and sin ! I am sitting in the chapel , can see through my eyes closed the way everything appears in a different light because of the magnificence ! A higher level of existence opens up before me , where not consumption, possession, the desire for power moves everything and everybody , but only pure love ! My desires push me towards You ! I shudder  in the knowledge of my insignificance ! How could we stand ,  sinful people made from a handful of dust in front of Your holy presence ? Yet I embark on the  exodus  the most holy  way of our physical existence , as in the first of the ten commandments You, Yourself asked me to adore, to worship You! The worshiping of our Creator God , the arc of Noah are our only hopes in this world !! 
Good Friday is the beginning of a new era , from this day on no longer the creation of Your hand ,the beast of  world are You the Lord  of, but you are the Father of infinite Love , who opens Your innermost life’s door , the One who, at the wedding feast  sits us at the same table with You, the goodness sharing Your power with us !
I am getting my eyes used to the light ! I am filled with the joy of the ones on their knees ! Everything is so simple ! Running around in the world thinking I was serving You ! Giving alms to the poor , teaching the lame to walk hobbling , to drag themselves in the dust of the earth ! Always weighing up everything , I was sharing out justice ! Even though my only task is , that myself unfolding my wing to show an example to my brethren , soaring high , to fly towards your arms opened widely my God ! 
Everything is finite , the earth, the water , the treasures below the ground , everything is within limits , except for love is there enough to go around unlimited for everybody ! The division of finite things can only give rise to wars, that is why people have to be taught to desire love, longingly search for the life-giving merciful love ! It is not difficult to present this lesson as deep in our heart we all feel that infinite thirst , that no matter what we try with, only love can quench ! The goal ahead of us is the commandment of love of Your Holy Son, the boundless horizon”  Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[a] 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] “(Mark 12, 30-31)
On the path of greedy selfishness , in the cage of hatred you cannot win, because there are no winners there , no matter how bravely anybody fights, struggles , they’ll be losers ! Your place is in the yard of mutual love , you have to know only champions are born there ! You can only win in God’s hall of love because you don’t have to conquer anybody , because in this house among the guest there is no first and last runner up , at the Heavenly Father’s round table everybody occupies the head of the table ! 
To conversion means , that you are no longer chasing after our world’s sparkling odds and ends , you are not chasing the rainbows of bulwarks , neither fame , but humbly upon your Master’s word you embark on the road of the lesser brother’ s fraternity wanting to serve all ! Be not afraid , you are stepping on the road of saints not the unknown paths ! Give your all, and here do not think of your wealth , but your anxieties , your worldly ambitions, 
drilled into you by advertisements , your grievances , your unnecessarily fastidious expectations , everything that pulls you down , and you become the trembling  guardian of your jam-packed house, give all that away ! Be free, tear off the chains that you imposed upon yourself and give over your whole being to the merciful love wanting to serve with goodness ! The service of the lesser brothers is such a line of work where you’ll never become redundant , become obsolete , ready to be discarded , worthless ! There is a great need for you in our world and you’ll see that despite of your insignificance everybody wants you , because as you yourself , everybody in God’s name needs unselfish help ! 
The holy days of Holy Week are here , unfold your wings , you are free may not greediness , selfishness drive you, but only goodness, mercy and love ! Get going  and you’ll see everything around you, your family, your workplace ,your church will turn into the kingdom of heaven ! On this road you, without abusing your power, will become  as well  almightiness on bended knees ! Ask and you shall receive , giving gift, you yourself will become a gift ! Be your creator God’s blessing hand , healing caress , life giving gentle rain , blessed spring sunshine , that gently not even touching will embrace you,  living  and life-giving  to everything and everyone !
From the quietness of prayer ,

Picture : On Wednesday of Holy Week with my children beneath the cross.
Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. The devil had already put it into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot to betray him. And during supper Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God, got up from the table, took off his outer robe, and tied a towel around himself. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?" Jesus answered, "You do not know now what I am doing, but later you will understand." Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet." Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no share with me." Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!" Jesus said to him, "One who has bathed does not need to wash, except for the feet, but is entirely clean. And you are clean, though not all of you." For he knew who was to betray him; for this reason he said, "Not all of you are clean." After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had returned to the table, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord-and you are right, for that is what I am. So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.

Jesus kneels down in front of His disciples and one by one washes their feet , then bends down gently kissing the feet of the apostles walking on His way!! Among the twelve, Judas is there too with the thirty pieces of silver jingling in his pocket yet our Master kneels down the same way and washed his feet as well!! How great is the humility, goodness in the heart of our Redeemer ? Then they sit down at the table and together  eat the last supper !!
How much can I love the one who hurts me, betrays , denies me , the one whom I know is going to turn his back on me !?How good it would be if my love would not be conditional , but really my merciful goodness should not be a reward but a healing balm , and if I would not be just paying my attention to those who deserve it, but to those who have the greatest need for it!!
It is not enough just to admire Christ , but humbly embark on our Master’s way ! Unfortunately even around us there are many , who turn their back on us , deny us , speak ill of us in our absence !! Lets use the holy days of Holy Week and at least in my thoughts I should wash the feet of the members of my family , my friends with merciful love!!

Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, "What will you give me if I betray him to you?" They paid him thirty pieces of silver. And from that moment he began to look for an opportunity to betray him. When it was evening, Jesus took his place with the twelve; and while they were eating, he said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me." And they became greatly distressed and began to say to him one after another, "Surely not I, Lord?" He answered, "The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me. The Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that one by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that one not to have been born." Judas, who betrayed him, said, "Surely not I, Rabbi?" He replied, "You have said so."

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,

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.

God does not give up !! At the time of the creation of the world our forefathers did not decide in favour of God, after this as well our Creator offered His company so many times , but again and again we reject His loving approach!! The two stones tablets in Moses’ hand have not even cooled down, already in the valley they are already pouring up the golden calf , the idol!! Jesus Christ in front of the walls Jerusalem cries out with infinite sadness : “ how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.”On Palm Sunday Jesus also asks us to make a decision , then on Good Friday again we have to decide and well, well we choose Barabbas !! There is no anger , Jesus after His resurrection makes a fire, bakes fish and invites His apostles for a peace feast !! Do you love me ?! asks He not only from Peter but from all of us !!
Jesus is doing the same today as well, He is trying to gather us with great,great love ! He joins us as our companion, just as of the disciples of Emmaus and with pierced feet accompanies us on the dusty road , and just as a beggar He awaits us to invite Him into our homes !! Yes God the beggar of love and we are so tightfisted towards Him !We measure our love on a tiny precision scales as though we would be buying that for a lot of money! My dear brethren , come and love God ! During the holy time of Holy Week let us bathe Him in our adoring love , with our grateful devotion lets spend more and more time in the company of our Redeemer !! I await you with great, great love at the feet of our Lord God !! Come and lets worship God !

When they were approaching Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples 2and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden; untie it and bring it. 3If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ just say this, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here immediately.’” 4They went away and found a colt tied near a door, outside in the street. As they were untying it, 5some of the bystanders said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” 6They told them what Jesus had said; and they allowed them to take it. 7Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it; and he sat on it. 8Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut in the fields. 9Then those who went ahead and those who followed were shouting,
“Hosanna!
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!
10Blessed is the coming kingdom of our ancestor David!
Hosanna in the highest heaven!”

A 100 years ago with what a momentum did the communist revolution start , but we can also talk about the Arabian spring ….how many people have since died , how many towns , villages were destroyed and are still continuing to do so in the name of “freedom” in the Ukraine, Syria , but we could list our world’s desecrated regions!!
Jesus does not want to change the world order, not even reform the economical systems, He wants to free mankind from being weighed down by their own sins ! Not what comes from the outside is what defiles us , but what is inside , for this reason Jesus wants to give us the freedom befitting a child of God, the dignity of one who sits at the same table with his Creator ! He does not want to shovel the snow from one corner to the other , but present our world as the blessed Sunshine with the humming spring !!
In the last days of Lent Jesus enters Jerusalem , He would also like to enter into your life !! Lets take the branches of the palm tree lets cover the ground with all our treasures and lets take in  Jesus Christ into our lives !! Lets not fight for a faceless freedom , but lets take our Redeemer’s hand , and let Him lead us into the Kingdom of Love that was dreamt in the beginning of the world !!
With a hopeful heart,
Father Csaba

Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him. But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what he had done. So the chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the council, and said, 'What are we to do? This man is performing many signs. If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and destroy both our holy place and our nation.' But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, 'You know nothing at all! You do not understand that it is better for you to have one man die for the people than to have the whole nation destroyed.' He did not say this on his own, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation, and not for the nation only, but to gather into one the dispersed children of God. So from that day on they planned to put him to death. 
Jesus therefore no longer walked about openly among the Jews, but went from there to a town called Ephraim in the region near the wilderness; and he remained there with the disciples. 
Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover to purify themselves. They were looking for Jesus and were asking one another as they stood in the temple, 'What do you think? Surely he will not come to the festival, will he?' Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that anyone who knew where Jesus was should let them know, so that they might arrest him.
