As St John quotes Jesus in today’s Gospel, He is the vine. When we all abide in Christ and he abides in all of us we bear much fruit.

Perhaps today you can find a quiet spot to be in the presence of God to experience the Spirit alive in you and all around you.

When we decide to emotionally detach ourselves from all we cling to for safety and meaning, we open ourselves to a liberated life lived for God.

Something is radically changing. The lid on the church’s powerful social teachings, rooted in the commands of Jesus, is being blown off.

Jesus’ prophetic mission statement in the synagogue is our mission statement, for we are his body in our moment in history.

In deep prayer, we let us open our hearts to God, seeking guidance on how best to respond to the command “Give them some food yourselves.”
