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
