My friends, In the parable in this week’s gospel reading Jesus puts a premium on fruitfulness. He does this first by stressing the vineyard owner’s severe judgment of the fig tree that has continued to bear no figs. The vineyard owner is ready to remove the fig tree because it is totally unproductive. Secondly, he focuses on the importance of being fruitful by underscoring the vinedresser’s unusual concern and attention to try and insure the fig tree’s future productivity. Both in the vineyard owner’s judgment and the vinedresser’s care, one message comes through loud and clear; fruitfulness is essential. This focus on bearing fruit takes on added importance when we recall Jesus’ last conversation with his disciples in John’s Gospel. In John 15:16 Jesus said, “You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last.” Earlier in verse 8, he stated that this is the way his Father is glorified, “that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.” Clearly, as Jesus was preparing to leave his disciples and begin the ordeal of his crucifixion he did not merely discuss trivial things with them, but shared his very heart and soul. And at the heart of what he said was his expectations for their fruitfulness. When the subject of fruitfulness comes up it is not unusual to see opinions vary regarding what is meant by fruit. Some would suggest that fruitfulness is simply Christian character, others that it is Christian deeds, and still others that it is Christian converts. I would suggest that to some degree it is inclusive of all of these because the three types of fruit mentioned are interdependent and interconnected. However, it is interesting that when we study the nature of fruit we discover that fruit always contains the seed of new life. So it is with both Christian character and Christian deeds, they are never intended to dwell alone, but are the seeds of new life, converts; “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.” Our Christian lives and deeds should result in non-believers’ desiring to also become believers. If we as a community of believers are not seeing conversions take place through us, we need to be concerned. How does all of this fit into Lent? Lent should be both a time of pruning and of cultivation. It is the time of year when we pay special attention to Christ and our relationship with him. As we focus on Christ, and add to our lives disciplines that enhance our spiritual consciousness and receptivity to him, it allows the Holy Spirit to begin tilling up the hardness of our hearts. Lenten missions, more frequent attendance at Mass and other celebrations, Lenten discussion group studies, and personal prayer and reflection are all means which the Holy Spirit can use to rework the dry, hard ground of our hearts. As these stony portions are broken up, and turned over, our hearts become more receptive to the nourishing nutrients that bring about growth and fruitfulness; sacred Scripture, Christ’s Presence, and prayer to seek God’s will. We are faced with the same decision as the disciples, will we, or will we not go and bear fruit so that the Father is glorified? Pope Paul VI in On Evangelization in the Modern World clearly calls us to this realization. “The Church is born of the evangelizing activity of Jesus and the Twelve. She is the normal, desired, most immediate and most visible fruit of this activity…” And he earlier states, “Those who have received the Good News and who have been gathered by it into the community of salvation can and must communicate and spread it.” May this Lent be a time of preparation for just such fruitfulness, and may Easter be a time when we invite those who don’t know Christ to “Come see!” God bless you, Fr. John MisFebruary amigos, 28, 2016 Febrero 28, 2016 En la parábola del Evangelio de esta semana Jesús da mucha importancia a la fecundidad. En primer lugar, haciendo un juicio severo al dueño de la viña de la higuera que no ha dado seguido higos. El dueño de la viña está listo para eliminar la higuera porque es totalmente improductiva. En segundo lugar, se centra en la importancia de ser fructífera por lo que subraya la preocupación y la atención inusual del viñador para tratar de asegurar la productividad futura de la higuera. Tanto en el juicio del dueño de la viña y el cuidado del viñador, un mensaje llega alto y claro; fecundidad es esencial. Este enfoque en dar fruto adquiere mayor importancia si tenemos en cuenta la última conversación de Jesús con sus discípulos en el Evangelio de Juan. En Juan 15:16 Jesús dijo: "No me eligieron a mí, sino que yo os elegí. Y os he encargado que vayan y den fruto, un fruto que perdure." Anteriormente, en el versículo 8, afirmó que esta es la forma en que su Padre es glorificado, “llevéis mucho fruto, y así serán mis discípulos." Es evidente, que Jesús se prepara para dejar a sus discípulos y comenzar el calvario de su crucifixión y no se limitó a hablar de cosas triviales con ellos, pero compartió su corazón y el alma. Y lo que dijo de corazón, eran sus expectativas para su fecundidad. Cuando el sujeto de la fecundidad aparece no es raro ver que las opiniones varían en cuanto a lo que se entiende por la fruta. Algunos sugieren que la fecundidad es simplemente de carácter cristiano, otros que son escrituras cristianas y otros más, que se trata de cristianos convertidos. Yo sugeriría que hasta cierto punto es inclusivo de todos ellos, porque los tres tipos de frutos mencionados son interdependientes e interconectados. Sin embargo, es interesante observar que cuando estudiamos la naturaleza de la fruta, descubrimos que la fruta contiene siempre la semilla de una nueva vida. Por lo que es con carácter cristiano y obras cristianas, que nunca van a vivir solos, pero son las semillas de nueva vida; "De la misma manera, que su luz brille delante de los hombres, para que vean vuestras buenas obras y glorifiquen a vuestro Padre que está en los cielos." Nuestras vidas cristianas y los hechos deben dar lugar a que los no creyentes deseen convertirse en creyentes. Si nosotros, como comunidad de creyentes no estamos viendo las conversiones que se llevan a cabo a través de nosotros, entonces tenemos que estar preocupados. ¿Cómo todo esto encaja en la Cuaresma? La Cuaresma debe ser a la vez un tiempo de podar y de cultivar. Es el momento del año en que se presta especial atención a Cristo y nuestra relación con él. A medida que nos centramos en Cristo y añadimos a nuestras vidas disciplinas que mejoran nuestra conciencia espiritual y la receptividad a él, permite que el Espíritu Santo comience a labrar la dureza de nuestro corazón. Misiones cuaresmales, la asistencia más frecuentes en la Misa y otras celebraciones. Los estudios del grupo de discusión de Cuaresma, y la oración personal, así como la reflexión son todos los medios que el Espíritu Santo puede utilizar para volver a trabajar la tierra seca y dura de nuestro corazón. A medida que estas porciones rocosas se rompen y están divididas, nuestros corazones se vuelven más receptivos a los nutrientes alimenticios que provocan el crecimiento y la fecundidad; la Sagrada escritura, la presencia de Cristo, y la oración para buscar la voluntad de Dios. Nos enfrentamos a la misma decisión que los discípulos, ¿vamos o no a dar el fruto para que el Padre sea glorificado? El Papa Pablo VI en la Evangelización en el mundo moderno nos llama claramente a esta realización. "La Iglesia nace de la acción evangelizadora de Jesús y de los Doce. Ella es el fruto normal deseado, más inmediato y más visible de esta actividad ... " Y los estados anteriores "Aquellos que han recibido la buena nueva y que han sido recogidos por el en la comunidad de salvación pueden y deben comunicarla y difundirla. "Que la Cuaresma sea un tiempo de preparación para tal fecundidad, y que la Pascua sea un tiempo para invitar a los que no conocen a Cristo a "Venir a ver!" Dios lo bendiga, Padre John COMMUNITY BUILDING ATTENTION PARENTS – ALL CHILDREN MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY A RESPONSIBLE ADULT ON THE CHURCH GROUNDS.
