God will understand or I am doing it my way for His glory. There is no harm in seeking out fortune tellers to ready ourselves for coming situations. Some observances of the Church are outdated like fasting during Lent, Advent or before each Eucharistic celebration. How faithful are we really to God’s commands and Will for us?
Work is top priority in my life otherwise how will I put food on the table? What little time I have left is for my Family, where do I have time to serve the church or the community? God understands, He will patiently wait when I have more time maybe when I retire. How faithful are we really to God’s commands and Will for us?
I never miss Sunday Eucharistic celebrations, I even attend weekday mass regularly. I observe all the practices of our Church. I do what I can whenever I can make time for my ministry and my parish. True servants of God will attend daily Eucharistic celebrations. How faithful are we really to God’s commands and Will for us?
Let us always be faithful in our hearts first to the Will of God. Let us reflect and deeply ponder on what we do and why we do what we do for the love of God; lest all we do are useless in the eyes of our heavenly Father for it serves our own purpose and intentions. Lord Jesus be our guide, let us always remain steadfast in Your love as we do the Will of our Father. Amen

GOSPEL
Mark 2:18–22
The disciples of John and of the Pharisees were accustomed to fast. People came to Jesus and objected, “Why do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?” Jesus answered them, “Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot# fast. But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast on that day. No one sews a piece of unshrunken cloth on an old cloak. If he does, its fullness pulls away, the new from the old, and the tear gets worse. Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the skins are ruined. Rather, new wine is poured into fresh wineskins.”
