	When I was watching over practical matters one summer in my seminary years, I bought food from one company whose products were guaranteed to have a two-year shelf life. The cookies tasted just as stale when newly-purchased as they did two years later. The Church has a pantry "where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor thieves break in and steal" (Mt 6:11). The gospel never gets moldy. The insights of the saints are as fresh and nourishing today as they were ten, twenty, or thirty centuries ago. "God is love, and all who abide in love abide in God, and God in them" (1 Jn 4:16).

	The Church has kept ''all'' of the Deposit of Faith: the knowledge that Jesus gave to His disciples before His ascension into Heaven, the Body with many parts and many gifts, especially the pastoral gifts to protect the Deposit of Faith from corruption, and the seven sacraments. It is a great treasury of life, light, love, peace, and joy that is open and available to all of God's children. We may take as much as we like of this fountain of youth--it flows from the inexhaustible love of God Himself.

	I think I've heard people say, "If Jesus were alive today, He would be using the modern means of communication." But Jesus IS alive today--and He IS using the modern means of communication. Jesus is risen from the dead and reigns over the whole Kingdom of God, which is inside our hearts instead of outside our bodies, as earthly kingdoms are. The promise He made to His disciples in the ancient medium of heart-to-heart communication is still fulfilled in the modern world: '''"Whoever listens to you listens to me"''' [http://www.usccb.org/bible/luke/10:16 (Lk 10:16).]		I think I've heard people say, "If Jesus were alive today, He would be using the modern means of communication."
