Gospel: Luke 5:33-39
But the days will come, and when the bridegroom is
taken away from them, then they will fast in those days.” And he also told them
a parable. “No one tears a piece from a new cloak to patch an old one.
Otherwise, he will tear the new and the piece from it will not match the old
cloak.
Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins.
Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the
skins will be ruined. Rather, new wine must be poured into fresh wineskins. And
no one who has been drinking old wine desires new, for he says, ‘The old is
good.’”

Reflection:
The story is told about a lady who was giving her
personal testimony on how Jesus made a big impact in her life and how Jesus
filled her life with joy and contentment. She said further that now that Jesus
is in her heart. She now will always ask Jesus to take care of her sadness and
other trials.
Whether we admit or not sadness and other lonesome
emotions will once in a while visit us. Most especially right now wherein so
life is hard and many also are suffering - but this is normal for we are all
beings with emotions. However if we have Jesus, we have nothing to worry even
if these lonesome feelings will come to us.
We would know how to handle it for the simple reason
that we already have Jesus in our life. We have nothing to worry about anything
that may come to us. Thus, we continue to move ahead with hope because Jesus is
by our side.
Assuring us that no human affliction and emotion no matter how severe could bring us down anymore. Not even the saddest moment in our lives for we have already been renewed and poured into the fresh wineskin which is no other than Jesus. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
