And nobody puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the skins too. No! New wine into fresh skins! (Mk 2: 21-22) Ord. Wk 2nd. Monday, 8 January 2016

This eloquent parable by Jesus in Mark’s Gospel conveys the graphic image of fresh starts and new beginnings, only to fail because we are cloaked in old baggage and past insecurities. Something to think about, deeply. Change wholeheartedly!
