Our heavenly Father seeks not to destroy but to build. To restore what was lost and to give us back our share of the heavenly inheritance;for which we squander away when we live in the world.
There are times for devotions, observances even formation. But there also times to put our faith into action. To love and live out the Gospels in our daily lives. And for that we need to embrace the fact that we don’t know it all, and that if we want to we can go deeper and deeper into our faith. We are limited only by the capacity we set for ourselves, instead of allowing our Lord to set it and fill us with the Graces we need to grow.
May we always remain steadfast in our faith and love for our Lord. Always eager to learn, live and serve our Lord and our brethren. Amen

Matthew 9:14–17
The disciples of John approached Jesus and said, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast much, but your disciples do not fast?” Jesus answered them, “Can the wedding guests mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast. No one patches an old cloak with a piece of unshrunken cloth, for its fullness pulls away from the cloak and the tear gets worse. People do not put new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise the skins burst, the wine spills out, and the skins are ruined. Rather, they pour new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”
