Sep 07 – Homily – Fr John Lawrence: Fasting and the Holy Spirit

Homily #120907 ( 00min) Play- "Why aren't your disciples fasting?" They already have the bridegroom so they don't need to fast. They are already united to Jesus so they need the new wine poured into them which is the wine of the Holy Spirit - a spiritual wine.  Let us by means of fasting unite ourselves more closely to the Lord and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Ave Maria!
