DEN FRUTOS Pocos de nosotros, incluso cuando meditamos sobre la imagen de la vid y los sarmientos, nos detenemos a pensar realmente acerca de cómo Dios nos “poda”. Para algunos, existe el peligro de pensar que ya estamos produciendo frutos para el reino, de verdad y con hechos como dice Juan, tal vez criando una familia, siendo activos en nuestra parroquia y así. Pero incluso aquellas ramas que están dando sus frutos, nos dice el Evangelio, se pueden podar para producir aún más. Hoy Saulo, recién “podado” por su conversión, llega a Jerusalén y encuentra resistencia. Ya que había estado persiguiendo a los cristianos, esto era natural. Pero incluso después de que lo aceptan y comienza a dar frutos, se encuentra con más adversidad, y sus cartas están llenas de muchos relatos de cómo sus pruebas eran “podas” para que produjera más frutos para el Reino. Al igual que él, siempre y cuando permanezcamos en Cristo, vamos a seguir dando frutos y, cuando la voluntad del Padre, determine que es hora de que nos pode, la fuerza de la vid verdadera deberá permitirnos soportarlo.

BEARING FRUIT Few of us, even when we meditate on the image of the vine and branches, stop to really think about how God “prunes” us. For some there is the danger of thinking that we are already producing fruit for the kingdom, in deed and truth as John says, perhaps raising a family, being active in our parish, and so on. But even those branches which are bearing fruit, the Gospel tells us, can be pruned to produce still more. Today Saul, freshly “pruned” by his conversion, arrives in Jerusalem and meets resistance. Since he had been persecuting Christians, this was only natural. But even after he is accepted and begins to bear fruit, he meets further adversity, and his letters are filled with many accounts of how his trials “pruned” him to produce greater fruit for the kingdom. Like him, as long as we remain in Christ we will continue to bear fruit and, when the will of the Father determines it is time to prune us, the strength of the true vine must enable us to endure it.

Señor Jesucristo, que compadecido de la multitudes

rogar al dueño de las mies que enviara obreros a su vina; Escucha Misericordioso nuestra plegaria. Y por intercesión de María, Madre de

la Divina Gracia, llama a innumerable jóvenes al sacerdocio para que continúen tu misión sobre la tierra. Tu que vives y reinas por

los siglos de los siglos. Amen

Prayer For Vocations

to the Priesthood Lord Jesus Christ, you asked us to pray to the Master of the Harvest to send out laborers for his harvest, as you were

moved with pity seeing the multitudes without a shepherd.

Mercifully hear our prayer! Through the intercession of Mary,

Mother of Divine Grace, may many more men respond to Your call to the priesthood, to continue your

mission on earth. You who live and reign forever and ever. Amen

¿Pero Como? Un niño grita: “¡Papá, los zancudos

no me dejan dormir, me están picando!” El padre responde: “Apaga la luz y duerme.” El niño apaga la luz; pero

entra en su habitación una luciérnaga y el niño grita: “¡Papá ahora me están buscando con una linterna!”

— OMG! — John says to his friend, “Andrea and I want to get married but, can’t find a place to live.” Friend, “Why don’t you

live with her parents?” John: “Can’t, they’re living with their parents!”
