Support the Catholic Home Missions Appeal

today! Right now, over 40 percent of the Dioceses

in the United States are considered home mission

territory because they are unable to fund the

essential pastoral work needed in their

communities. Your support funds programs, such

as religious education, seminary formation, and lay

ministry training, to build vibrant faith communities

right here in the United States. Please be generous.

5th Sunday of Easter

The Gospel reading tells us that all who belong to Christ are fruit-bearing branches of one vine. Jesus is the vine, and because we are all attached to him, we share the same calling: to bear good fruit. And not just any fruit that seems good, but the same fruit that Jesus produced. However, most of us under-estimate how important this is! You are more valuable than you know. God wants you to produce Christ's fruit – and more of it. Today too many Christians are settling for mediocrity. As long as we get some personal satisfaction from being Chris-tian, we feel all too easily sat-isfied. As long as we're help-ing some people with our kindness or generosity or love, we think God is satisfied with the good fruits we're pro-ducing. Have you ever asked why there's so much evil in the world? Why doesn't God

raise his almighty hand against war, against corruption in government, against the greed of high-salaried man-agers who lay off their employees while giving them-selves huge bonuses, against the perpetrators of phys-ical and emotional abuse, against legislation that dis-criminates against Christian faith, against rising crime rates, or against any evil that's corrupting our world? Why doesn't God do something?

Actually, he does! How-ever, he does it the same way he grows grapes. The life force of the vine (Jesus) travels through the vine to the little twigs (you and me and all Christians) that

hold the grapes. The more open we are to receiving nourishment from Christ, the more fruit Jesus produces through us. But the grapes are not supposed to stay there! We're nourished by Christ in order to take his fruits abundantly out into the world. We must grow strong and healthy, branch out, and use every-thing we've received from Christ for the sake of others. Evil is stopped to the extent that we Christians continue Christ's earthly ministry. Victory over evil comes from Christ, that is, through us from Christ. Holiness in the world comes from Christ's Holy Spirit actively transform-ing it through our holiness.

Reflect & Discuss:

1. Are you doing enough to grow the best fruit on your branch of Christ's vine? How healthy is your connection to Christ?

2. What in your life needs to be pruned off because it's not pro-ducing full, abundant fruit?

3. Name some of the things we do that fertilize the vineyard. What has helped your branch grow stronger and bear more fruit?

4. How does ignoring the need to prune ourselves hinder the growth of good fruit – fruit that de-feats evil?
