Can the Wedding Guests fast when the Bridegroom is Still With Them?
Published 10 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
The gospel today sends us to contemplate Jesus explaining to the Jews the reason why His disciples did not fast just like them. They were proud about themselves being able to fast so much, such that they were critical of Jesus' followers who did not fast. Jesus clarified that He was still around. Only when He is gone when He dies on the Cross will they begin to fast. But as it is, He was still with them. Those Jews were envious of them because they thought themselves better being able to fast much.
