Pastor’s Note—Fifth Sunday of Easter - Year I, Cycle B
“I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because
without me you can do nothing”.
Jesus presents to us today a daring and powerful image. He presents the Father as the vine-grower, Himself
as the true vine, and we as the branches. This image of the vine and branches illustrates who and what we are
to be as Church. The Church is truly the visible Sacrament of Christ in the world. Indeed, we belong to
something much greater than ourselves. As the Body of Christ in the world, we draw our nourishment and life
from Christ, the true vine, most especially through the Eucharist we celebrate. Jesus must be the center and
source of everything we say and do. The fruit of our words and work manifest the face of Christ to others.
This may not always be easy given our tendency to fall into sin and temptation, but the Father, the vinegrower, will also be there to prune whatever that hinders us to bear fruit.
This week we take the time to reflect upon who is truly at the center of lives. We identify our source of life
and nourishment. We take an honest look at the things that prevents us to bear fruit, i.e. not allowing others to
encounter Christ through us. In everything that we do for home, school, and work, can people recognize the
person of Jesus? When we come together as Church do we make Christ present in the celebration of the Mass
through our active, full, and conscience participation? Do we respond to the call to service and ministry
serving our brothers and sisters or do we prefer to be fruitless by ignoring the call through indifference? We
can also be fruitful branches when we extend the gift of mercy and forgiveness that God generously bestow
upon us when we become merciful and forgiving to others.
God bless!
In Christ,
Father Brian
Quinto Domingo de Pascua Nota del Pastor
“Yo soy la verdadera vid, ustedes los sarmientos; el que permanece en mí y yo en él, ése da fruto abundante,
porque sin mí nada pueden hacer.”
Jesús nos presenta hoy una imagen audaz y potente. Presenta al Padre como el viñador. El es la vid
verdadera y nosotros somos las ramas. Esta imagen de la vid y los sarmientos ilustra quién y qué somos como
iglesia. La iglesia es verdaderamente el Sacramento visible de Cristo en el mundo. De hecho, pertenecemos a
algo mucho más grande que nosotros mismos. Como el Cuerpo de Cristo en el mundo, recibimos nuestra
alimentación y vida de Cristo, la viña verdadera, especialmente a través de la Eucaristía que celebramos. Jesús
debe ser el centro y la fuente de todo lo que hacemos y decimos. El fruto de nuestras palabras y trabajo
manifiestan el rostro de Cristo a los demás. Esto quizás no es siempre fácil de hacer cuando tenemos la
tendencia de caer en el pecado y la tentación, pero el Padre, el viñador también estará ahí para podar lo que se
nos dificulta para dar sus frutos.
Esta semana tomemos el tiempo para reflexionar sobre quién está verdaderamente en el centro de la vida.
Identifiquemos nuestra fuente de vida y alimentación. Demos una mirada honesta a las cosas que nos impiden
dar frutos, por ejemplo; no permitiendo a otros el encuentro de Cristo a través de nosotros. ¿En todo lo que
hacemos en el hogar, la escuela y el trabajo, la gente puede reconocer a la persona de Jesús? ¿Cuando nos
reunimos como iglesia tenemos a Cristo presente en la celebración de la misa a través de nuestra participación
con una conciencia completa y activa? ¿Acaso respondemos al llamado de Servicio y Ministerio sirviendo a
nuestros hermanos y hermanas o preferimos ser infructuosos ignorando la llamada, siendo indiferente?
También podemos ser ramas fructíferas cuando extendemos el regalo de la misericordia y el perdón que Dios
otorga generosamente sobre nosotros, cuando somos misericordiosos y perdonamos a los demás.
Dios los Bendiga!
En Cristo,
Padre Brian
