picnic on May 20th. Please mark your calendar for
this special time together. Plans are being made for lots of game
and prizes for children as well as the ice cream truck. Friends
and extended family are welcome.
A Reflection of the Gospel from Living Liturgy
2018: The image used in today’s gospel can be understood
in a number of ways. For one, Jesus says that the branches
that do bear fruit are pruned, to bear more. We can reflect on
that to wonder why these fruit-bearing branches need to be
pruned at all! Isn’t it enough to cut off the branches that do
not bear fruit? No, for the vine grower, merely producing
fruit is not enough. He knows that the branch can produce
more. And anyone with gardening experience would agree.
And so we at times have the experience of being pruned.
We can wonder why. Things seem to be going well. Life is
in order. Good things are happening. And yet, we are
pruned. We die to parts of ourselves regularly. And this
dying is essential if we are to produce more fruit. The vine
grower, the Father, knows what he is doing. Our task is
simply to remain on the vine, and to produce fruit. Our
being pruned is a natural and healthy, though perhaps
painful, experience that is necessary for us to grow into the
people we are to become. This process of being pruned, of
dying to self, is essential for the Christian life, and it is
directed, even carried out by the Father. It is the paschal
mystery. The result of which is producing fruit.
