RIGHT THING AT THE RIGHT TIME
There is time for everything. Time for fasting and time for feasting; time to rejoice and time to mourn; and time to work and time to pray. We cannot mess up and miss the meaningful living. It is not fitting to mourn at the celebration and rejoice at the funeral. In today’s Gospel passage, the people accuses the disciples of Jesus for not fasting like the disciples of John the Baptist and the disciples of the Pharisees. Jesus defends his disciples and justifies them saying that they need not fast as long as the bridegroom was with them; for Jesus, the Son of God and the Promised One was with them.
We have to catch up to the time and conduct our lives suiting the same. We have to make our life relevant and befitting by discerning the signs of the time rightly otherwise our lives will be life like new wine in the old wineskin where both will be getting spoiled. Listen the signs of the times; discern right in the light of faith and live a relevant and meaningful life. Learn to do the right thing at the right time instead of blaming others and the time.
