I hope there are many fruits for you as we continue to receive the many gracious gifts of Easter.
Last week Jesus told he shepherds us through the ups and downs of life. This week his sap of goodness or spiritual fruit flows into us if we remain united in relationship with him with him as our ‘vine.’.
Jesus gave us seven “I am” statements, each one deserving our spiritual attention. These are just wo of them.
Mother Teresa composes what she called her ‘business card’ that uses the word ‘fruit’ numerous times. It is truly beautiful.
Here it is:
The fruit of silence is prayer.
The fruit of prayer is faith.
The fruit of faith is love.
The fruit of love is service.
The fruit of service is peace.
May these words inspire you all.
Take care
Fr. Patrick
