for today's reading (http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/021216.cfm)
Today Jesus is asked why he and his disciples do not fast. He answers, "Can the wedding guests mourn when the bridegroom is with them?"
The contrast is striking: Mourning and joyful. He reminds us that he is the groom. We are his love. How can we be sad? This Lent are we mindful of his immense love? What sacrifice can we give him that will bring us closer to him? Is it a sacrifice of prayer? A few brief moments before the tabernacles between work and lunch? How do we make him our first priority? The answer is different for everyone. Let the Spirit lead you.
