Matthew 9:14–17
The disciples of John came to Jesus,
saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not
fast?" And Jesus said to them, "The wedding guests cannot mourn as
long as the bridegroom is with them, can they? The days will come when the
bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast. No one sews a
piece of unshrunk cloth on an old cloak, for the patch pulls away from the
cloak, and a worse tear is made. Neither is new wine put into old wineskins; otherwise,
the skins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the skins are destroyed; but new
wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved."
Reflection
Can I feel God is always present in me and
among his people?
Do I always possess the new wine of your
Good News and share it generously with others?
