New Wine Skins Mk. 2:18-22
In the Eucharist we receive the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
In the Eucharist we receive the fullness of grace.
We receive all the grace that is, was and ever will be.
With all that, why is it then that we are not instantly transformed into saints?
Because we cannot pour New Wine, into old wine skins.
Many people receive the Body and Blood of Christ in the Eucharist and when they leave church go back to their old way of living and thinking and the grace of the New Wine they have received in the Eucharist is spilled out and lost because their hearts were not prepared to receive the fullness of grace.
Before receiving the Eucharist we must first seek to change our old ways so that we might be able to contain within ourselves like the Virgin Mary, the fullness of grace and begin a new life in Christ.
