Pope Francis approves tireless charity work of Hungary Helps, blesses Hungarian students
“We do not want to tell from Budapest what the people in a bad situation need; we go there and ask the people involved what we can help with,” said Ádám Wappler, a member of Hungary Helps Program, a theologists and an educator at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences of the Pázmány Péter Catholic University in the radio programme of Spirit FM called Magyarország segít! (Hungary helps).
The radio programme was quite eventful as Ádám Wappler has told the listeners of the radio about his personal experience concerning their latest travel to Iraq in March and the project he was there for as part of Hungary Helps Program. Among other things he also told interesting things about the historic visit of Pope Francis and his latest book he wrote collectively with Ádám Sághy, reported ATV.
“Being a member of the Hungary Helps Program is more than a simple job, it is a mission. And it is the personal encounters that make this a mission and our task real: to take help where it is needed,”
said Ádám Wappler, adding that they have a constant connection with the leaders of the pursued catholic groups.
Ádám Wappler was escorting Azbej Tristan state secretary and leader of the Hungary Helps Program to Iraq. Apart from attending the visit of the Pope, Ádám also took a major role tending to a lot of tasks. According to ATV that it was also a humanitarian mission as well.

They went to visit the places they are supporting and checked what the people there needed. It is also part of the mission to check on how their previous aids have been spent or utilised. Ádám said that after the mission he needed days, weeks even to simply process what he experienced.
Thanks to the Hungary Helps Program, a settlement that has been previously destroyed by the ISIS could be rebuilt again. The town of Tell-Aszkuf was restored and from the 1,300 families that have been chased away, 1,000 were able to settle back.
Also, thanks to the help of the charity organisation, the Saint George church, the kindergarten and 950 homes were rebuilt. Ádám said that the locals call Tell-Aszkuf the “Daughter of Hungary”.
Within four years of tireless work, the Hungary Helps Program helped thousands of people in need and have made it possible for them to stay in their homelands and even to return to their own homes.
Ádám also told the listeners that he and his co-writer, Ádám Sághy have sent Pope Francis one of their books with an accompanying letter. He received an answer from the Pope himself and in the letter, apart from thanking Ádám’s help and the fact that he takes upon himself the teaching of the word, Pope Francis has also blessed all students of the Pázmány Péter Catholic University.

Cardinal Peter Erdo – Archbishop of Eszetergon – Budapest and thus The Primate of Hungary – responsible for 43% of the Hungarian population of 9.6 million – Your Voice – Your Opinion -Your Fatherly Support to US – where is It –
and why You remain underground out of Sight not speaking for your 43% of the Hungarian population.
Leadership not just Spritual leadership but being seen and heard speaking through the vastness of communication facilities that your position does have available for you to be Heard and Seen.
Do you think Cardinal Jozsef Mindszenty – would have gone underground closed himself away in Eszetergon – not spoken, taken a position for the pain and suffering being endured by just not Catholics – your responsibility – 43% of our population but all of Hungary – at this “perilous” time in our History ?
Do you think – a personal hero of yours – Saint Pope Paul 11 – would have remained silent ?
Cardinal Jozsef Mindszenty and Saint Pope John Paul 11 – “stretched” boundaries of archaic laws not just of The Catholic Faith – that through fear it was not to be witnessed Popes and Cardinals nor The Holy Roman Catholic Church – playing Church against Politics.
We give Thanks to God – for what these (2) two Blessed and Holy Servants did for there People – the Children of Christ.
“Be not Afraid” – Cardinal Peter Erdo – often term used by your hero Pope and Saint – Saint Pope John Paul 11.
Don’t remain confined hidden – SILENT and Faceless behind your Palace Gates in Eszetergon.
Your conscience and intelligence would be telling you – we the 43% of us- your Responsibility in Feeding us the Word of God – you have to LEAD us.
Silence breeds un-rest – festers people, leads and directs them into strange and at times decision making that is Wrong.
Cardinal Erdo – you will not grow your flock – your newly baptized numbers nor congregation numbers or people returning to the Catholic Church – buy the WRONGNESS of attitude you are conducting in this “perilous” time in the History of our Country.
LEADERSHIP – that displays a “Be not Afraid” spiritual and human daily life message in it and look back on the lives of Cardinal Jozsef Mindszenty and Saint Pope John Paul 11 – prepared to “Martyr” themselves – for what they, in the core of their minds bodies and their souls – built on Faith, Belief and Trust in Christ Jesus – they Lead and YOU – Cardinal Erdo – should be witnessed by your faithful doing same.
God bless our Pope.
