The Vine, The Sap, and The Fruit of Suffering
The Vine, The Sap, and The Fruit of Suffering
The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/050626.cfm
Father Anthony Gramlich, MIC, uses the metaphor of a vineyard to explain that the Father is the Grower, Jesus is the true Vine, and the Holy Spirit is the invisible Sap that enables believers to bear fruit. Father Anthony teaches that, just as grapes must be crushed to produce wine, Christians must embrace the “crushing” of crosses and trials, remaining united to Christ and thereby producing spiritual wine for the Kingdom of God. By staying connected to life in the Spirit and thereby healthy, flourishing members of the Mystical Body of Christ through prayer, spiritual reading, the Sacraments, works of mercy, and Eucharistic Adoration, we can rejoice even in the midst of our sufferings and trust that God is working through our pains to bring forth new life.
