On the sidelines of the National Catholic Charismatic Meeting. Written by Katalin Pók.
The words of the prophet Ezekiel were the official motto of the National Catholic Charismatic Meeting, which was organized on September 30 in Budapest. Kornél Fábry was highlighted by the all-day presence of the "smiling" bishop, his teachings and the Holy Mass he celebrated. In addition, several excellent teachings were given, among others by the very popular former Eger spiritualist József Szabó, while the lectures were interrupted by beautiful glorifications. A huge crowd took part in the event, filling the Riz Levente Sports Hall in Budapest.
The event was accompanied by the sale of books by charismatic publishers, other Christian symbols, and t-shirts. An interesting feature of the event was that a representative of the Messianic Jewish movement appeared among the sellers of the publication, with its brochures and books. This movement emphasizes that they recognize Jesus as the Messiah and that the Lord has not rejected his people Israel. The atmosphere was uplifting from the very beginning, the glorifying music flooded the room, during the prayer service and healing service, crying, moved people, among them young people, felt that the Lord and the Holy Spirit were really present here.
The whole event started with the penance after the glorifying music. The lecturer went through almost the entire Ten Commandments, listing at length the sins of today's modern age.
Man breaks the Do not kill In the modern age, according to liberal ideology and demands, "abortion is a fundamental right". They don't think that that tiny creature is also a human being, and they kill a life. Fornication with porn, premarital sex, adultery is common, and this could be continued. Added to this are computer and other addictions, as the sins of the modern age. At least 30 priests took part in the event, several of them went to confession while the programs were taking place.
In his speech, Father Kornél Fábry emphasized that today people are being attacked in their identity, regardless of who they are. And it is easy to tempt a person with a weak identity, since "evil walks around, looking for someone to devour". He is the author of this identity disorder. If you are asked what your identity is, you could answer, for example, that I am a Catholic Hungarian man. But the attack also extends to religion, nationality and gender identity. Most people today say they are religious in their own way.
The national consciousness is also under attack, and we know the confusion of gender identity.
It should be said that I am a child of God, I belong to Jesus, and this should be visible on the person. The image of a religious person in his own way may have come into the speech in connection with the latest statistical results. We could see the result, that 43% indicated which church they belonged to, the proportion of religious people decreased, also among Catholics, which the left-wing press was overjoyed about. The author of the obviously left-wing Religious Studies website emphasized in this regard that it is a pity for gasoline, and the government's efforts are unnecessary, even in the field of church renovations, because the number of Christians has decreased. The father did not address this, but those who read the media could see the joy of the left.
However, none of this was visible here, the huge crowd was enthusiastic and felt the presence of the Holy Spirit, there was great joy and weeping.
During the intermission of the lectures, there was a prayer service, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and confession. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, which is the glorification of the body of Jesus in the Sacrament of the Altar, came to the fore in the charismatic movement. Today it is held in every church. The prayer service was extremely moving, here and there crying and moved people appeared. The ministers spoke in tongues and gave individual prophecies. All of this was inspired by the Holy Spirit, given one word at a time for the person asking for prayer. The tears revealed that the Lord had touched him with it, he had touched the center of the problem many times. This service was performed by volunteers, as was the later healing service, alongside the fathers, including Bishop Fábry. In healing, people received a personalized message and often real healing.
Several young people were touched by the service. The mediators of healing addressed a young boy from the crowd. The boy came here on a scooter, thinking I would see what these jerks were doing. "He's crying now," he said from the stage.
There were also some important thoughts that Father Kornél highlighted, and this is the motto, "I have set you as a watchman". It means that we are all sentinels, everyone must be evangelized, in the family, at work, in other groups with whom we are connected. We must tell everyone, Father Kornél said:
"Did you know you're not going to stop?"
