Gospel text
Mk 2,18-22
One day, when the disciples of John the Baptist and the Pharisees were fasting, some people asked Jesus, «Why is it that both the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but yours do not?».
Gospel's Commentary
Today Jesus wants us to learn a lesson: we must follow the religious precepts out of love for Him, not simply because “one has to”. This is precisely the reason why Jesus defends His disciples from the scorn of the Pharisees: will you fast when your friend invites you to his birthday party? - I will go to that birthday party and offer for my friend the sacrifice of taking less of what I like the most.
