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!
