Our New Wineskin

No one uses a piece of new cloth to patch up an old coat, because the new patch will shrink and tear off some of the old cloth making an even bigger hole, nor does anyone pour new wine into used wineskins, because the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and skins will be ruined. Instead new wine must be poured into fresh wineskin. - Mark 2:21-22

Pope Francis has just fled back to Rome leaving behind so many words and wisdom that were able to inspire many Filipinos, Christians and non-Christians. His very visit and messages pierced a lot of hearts that were once cold and weeping and true enough, it made a great impact to all of us setting our hearts ablaze.
As I relate this event to the Gospel yesterday, let us not allow this new found spirit to be in vain and fade by not acting. Let us not pour this new wine into an old wineskin by going back to our usual routines as if nothing happened.
Lastly, I pray that whatever has happened to us on Pope Francis' visit, may we be able to translate it into actions and decide genuinely to once again follow Jesus Christ.
