My vacation

view some pictures>>
I spent my vacation with my church in a small town in Northern Hungary. In the mornings we read together a book by Henri Nouwen that’s title is With Burning Hearts: A Meditation on the Eucharistic Life. Nouwen uses the Emmaus road passage (Luke 24:13-35) as the backdrop for his words. We tried to understand the Eucharist (Lord Supper) in a deeper way. There are five themes in the book that lead us to Eucharist:
Loss, Presence, Invitation, Communion, Mission, leading the reader to find a "network of connections" between the celebration of the Eucharist and daily human experience.

We also could relax in the afternoons. We went to have a trip, to swim, to play. So I enjoyed that week with my friends from my church.
