on themes St. Brand: expelled demons, hilarious post and stormwater wine today. In the parish of the Gospel reading - today, on St.. Mark. The fact that Jesus performed miracles, first, a few miracles of casting out demons - and only then began to preach (2 nd chapter). I had a rather grim explanation this fact - that, as Jesus said, when the demon cast out, it is refined to place seven evil demons. Maybe he wanted to have time to preach in that span, when they came even those seven. Took advantage of a pause, so to speak.
The fact that fasting is not necessary when the Bridegroom with us. To me it sounded pretty strange - as the post may not be necessary? Because the post is the purification of the soul - so perhaps even if the groom is present there, not to be cleaned? And then come up with explanation: that the post as asceticism may be a "fun", and may be "heavy". That is, if I cleaned the house in a good mood, thinking, as would be beautiful after harvest, it is fun ascetic exercise. And if I do the same thing with a sense that the victims of their suffering, and I know that it will benefit, but I'm at this difficult (because, for example, tired or I want to do something else) - it's "hard" position. Perhaps Jesus had in mind, that while he was among the people do not need these heavy exercise, and be merry.
On the topic of non-infusion of new wine in old bottles I had such a vision.
In the garden are three children: a boy and a girl about the same age and very little boy. They play in the liturgy :-) - rainwater their wine, and kulichiki of sand - the bread. They have a bucket - Is already quite old, dilapidated. Suddenly begins to rain, kids want to collect water in a bucket, but the jet is too strong and a pail of spoils, begins leaking. "This, - said the boy - this is proof that the young wine in the bottles is not shabby poured.

Dzień dzisiejszy. W parafii czytania ewangeliczne - dziś od św. Marka. O tym że Jezus najpierw tworzył cuda, kilka cudów wygnania złych duchów, - a dopiero potem zaczął preach sermons (chapter 2). I had the rather murky explanation of this fact - that, as it is said, when the evil spirit is cast out, it then returned to the place cleaned seven worse spirits. Maybe he wanted to make it deliver these sermons did not come until the seven. Use the pause.
The fact that fasting is not needed until we have a groom with them. It sounded to me quite strange - as it may be that fasting is not needed? After post a cleansing of the soul - do, even if the groom is close, we do not have to clean? And then came up with such explanation: that post as an ascetic may be "happy" and could be "severe." So, if you tidy apartment in a good mood, thinking, as will be beautiful after cleaning, it is fun exercise in ascetic. And if you do it with the feeling that I offer my suffering, and I know that it is good but it is difficult for me (because, for example, I'm tired or I have the desire to do something else) - is a "heavy" post. Maybe Jesus was thinking that as long as he is with people you do not need this heavy exercise, let him be happy.
On non-pouring new wine into old bottles I had such a vision.
playing in the garden of three children: a boy and a girl in a more or less the same age, and very little toddler. :-) They play in the liturgy - the water after the rain is wine, and the balls of sand are the bread. They have a bucket - this is already quite old and frail. Suddenly he begins to strong rain, kids want to collect water in a bucket, but raining too hard and the bucket goes wrong, they get holes. "Oh, - said the little boy - this is the proof that you can not pour new wine into old wineskins."
