“Do you not know that a
little yeast leavens all the dough? Clear out the old yeast, so that you may
become a fresh batch of dough,…For our Paschal Lamb, Christ, has been sacrificed.
Therefore, let us celebrate the feast, not with the old yeast, the yeast of
malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth” (1 Cor 5: 1-8).
Every morning we awake “as
a fresh batch of dough, [f]or our Paschal Lamb, Christ, has been sacrificed and
His grace has been at work in the silence of the night. We need to be alert so that, as the day goes
on, we live it, “not with the old yeast,
the yeast of” selfishness, deceit, pride but with the unleavened yeast of
sacrifice, discipline, humility, forgiveness, love, kindness, patience, hope; in short, obedience to the Law of love written
on our hearts.
