[Grem] a mai nagyböjti szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel, people ask Jesus why he and his disciples do
not fast when John and his disciples do. Jesus’ answer is wonderful: "How
can the guests at a wedding fast while the groom is still with them?" Could
you imagine people fasting at a wedding banquet? It would be ridiculous!
Jesus later says, "No one pours new wine into old wineskins...." The new
wine is the Gospel. The receptacle for this wine must be conformed to it,
not the other way around. To take in the Good News, we can’t be living in
the cramped space of our sinful souls. We can’t have an "expect the worst"
attitude. Instead we repent, or change the minds that we have. Another way
to get at this is to say that like is known by like. If God is love, then
only a soul that is on fire with love will properly take him in.*
