Gospel
Mark 2:18-22
'Why do your disciples not fast?'
One day when John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, some people came to Jesus and said to him, ‘Why is it that John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not?’ Jesus replied, ‘Surely the bridegroom’s attendants would never think of fasting while the bridegroom is still with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they could not think of fasting. But the time will come for the bridegroom to be taken away from them, and then, on that day, they will fast. No one sews a piece of unshrunken cloth on an old cloak; if he does, the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and the tear gets worse. And nobody puts new wine into old wineskins; if he does, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the skins too. No! New wine, fresh skins!’
Reflection
As I read this passage I ask myself what are the feelings of the people who attend church . Are they happy or sad ? Do they carry their burden with them and looking for solutions while in God's house. The answer is go with joy to God's house. Whatever burden live it in the hand of the lord. Jesus want us to be filled with joy.
Let us pray
Lord Jesus our life is full of burden and challenges. Fill us with joy in our heart as we surrender our life to you.
Amen
