Reflection:
The word religion makes us uncomfortable, as it comes down to our understanding of what religious practice is. However, what Jesus said 2000 years ago is so relevant today. The whole purpose fasting is to internalise and put into practice that we are more than our human instincts. And collectively when we practice it, we are united in our belief. But for many there practices and teachings they find difficult to accept simply because it has been done in a particular way. When one is used to old wine, new wine will never be appreciated. Jesus is the new wine, and teaches us that the practice of religion begins within first and then it culminates externally as community.
Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to accept the teachings of his son Jesus Christ in humility and reverence. And as you do so may your life be transformed as you become a true disciple led by his Holy Spirit. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
