From Morning Prayer:

St. Maurus, Ab., first disciple of St. Benedict


John’s (the Baptist) disciples and the Pharisees were fasting; and people came and said to Him (Jesus), “Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?”

And Jesus said to them,

“Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. The days will come, when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.

No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; if he does, the patch tears away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear is made.

And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; if he does, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and so are the skins; but new wine is for fresh skins.”

(from the Gospel of Mk 2: 18-22)

I pray that this text finds you following Jesus.

I pray that we may all have had a day of putting the new heart into the new man.

Please pray for all those listed in all the parts of the litany that follows (Part 1)(Part 2)(Part 3)(Part 4).

PEACE ✌ † 🙏 🐕‍🦺
