In the second chapter of the Gospel of Mark, there is an episode when Jesus is questioned about fasting, and he answers his interlocutors by saying “No one sews a piece of unshrunken cloth on an old cloak. If he does, its fullness pulls away, the new from the old, and the tear gets worse. Likewise, no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the skins are ruined. Rather, new wine is poured into fresh wineskins.”

In this episode of Sangreal, Bishop Thomas J. Paprocki of the diocese of Springfield spoke about the importance of ensuring our souls are properly situated in a state of grace when we receive Holy Communion, and how a relationship with Our Eucharistic Lord helps us to cooperate with the will of God for our lives.
