Fifth Sunday of Easter

Listen again to the words of today’s gospel - “Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without you can do nothing.” The accounts of the church in the Acts of the Apostles make it clear that the disciples took Jesus words to heart. The fruits born from remaining close to Jesus were unity, peace and growth among the members. How might we as a community of disciples answer this question: What are the fruits that are being born from our following of and listening to Christ? During this Easter season, may the example of the early church continue to inspire us to draw closer to Christ and to direct our efforts to bearing fruit that will last!
