Message from Trans-Carpathia

Konstantin Szabó’s preparation for his priesthood was going on in a clandestine manner and by tricking the Trans-Carpathian authorities. Only his closest family members were aware of his ordination, since that time the entire Greek Catholic Church ceased to exist officially, and its operation was forbidden – let us know Cardinal Péter Erdő in his introduction. After the fall of Communism, by the birth of Ukraine, the Greek Catholic Church was allowed to work again, so could Father Konstantin appear publicly as a priest. The Hungarian Cardinal greets Konstantin Szabó’s testimony on behalf of the faithful.
Faithful could not approach personally the Holy Eucharist as a result of the pandemic – recalls the quarantine life in his message Konstantin Szabó. The Greek Catholic priest is talking about the changes in our faith that these extraordinary times brought us. “Very many of us have really experienced having a fear of God.” Apart from our strengthened faith – underlined Konstantin Szabó – the most important of all that we could accept God’s will with love.
