Matthew 9:14–15
Then 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.”
Reflection
• There is a time for everything. Is it now the time to fast?
• Jesus said, “The wedding guests cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them.” Have I rejected the bridegroom to be with me in my life now?
