GOSPEL MEDITATION
April 29, 2018 5th Sunday of Easter
Are you ready for a trim? In today's Gospel, we hear the familiar
teaching of the vine and the branches. Jesus reminds us that if we
remain close to him-living in humility, following God's law, loving
our neighbor-we will no%ce a posi%ve change in our life and the
lives of those around us. "Whoever remains in me and I in him will
bear much fruit." The Holy Spirit is life-giving. He is frui*ul. The
Spirit of God won't refuse grace to a heart that is open.
As we progress through life, learning how to live and love, we grow. Our personali%es flower. We discover
what it is to be a blessing to others. We also experience lack, loss, and the results of our failures. We know
what it is like to "wither" at %mes, par%cularly the %mes when we willingly separate ourselves from Jesus.
"Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you
remain in me." For most of us, this experience of being disconnected and off track generates a desire to
return to what is right and good, to return to the vine.
But this Gospel is more than "Are you in or are you out?" Even when we remain in God, when we follow
Jesus, we are not exempt from the challenge, the pruning. "Everyone that [bears fruit] he prunes." A prudent
trim is necessary in the natural world of trees and vines. Dead wood, broken shoots, and diseased branches
need to be cut back in order for the plant to bear fruit. Jesus wants us to be healthy! He says as much
himself: "By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples." Take a look at
your life today. Where are you bearing fruit? Where do you need to be pruned?
MEDITACIÓN EVANGÉLICO
29 de Abril de 2018 5º Domingo de Pascua
El domingo pasado el Evangelio nos hablaba sobre el Buen Pastor, ahora veremos con atención sobre la vid y
los sarmientos. La buena no%cia de este pasaje es el dar fruto, no nuestro fruto, que quede claro, pero, si el
fruto del trabajo de Dios en los sarmientos. "Yo soy la vid y ustedes los sarmientos. El que permanece en mí
y yo en el, ese da mucho fruto, pero sin mí no pueden hacer nada". (Juan 15:5). El Padre nos forma por medio
de las palabras de Jesús. Nuestro trabajo es con%nuar, de esta manera, podemos escuchar y responder a sus
palabras y dar fruto abundante. ¿Qué significa todo esto para la persona que desea ser injertado en la vid
que es Cristo? ¿Qué significa ser sarmiento para la vida del cris%ano?
Sencillamente, dejarse influenciar por la Palabra de Dios, lo demás viene por añadidura. Enseguida se notara
el fruto entregándose por los demás. Además, el pertenecer a Cristo no es sen%do único es reciproco. "El que
guarda sus mandamientos permanece en Dios y Dios en él. Pues Dios permanece en nosotros, y lo sabemos
por el Espíritu que nos ha dado. (1 Juan 3:24). Es como dice el dicho. "Amor con amor se paga". Sin olvidar un
elemento importante, Jesús, es el que congrega, invita y anima a su seguimiento. Este Evangelio también
invita a la poda de lo que no nos deja crecer en la vid. Los jardineros lo saben muy bien. Es mucho el trabajo,
y requiere de entrega y amor. Ahora, reflexionemos, en lo siguiente. ¿En qué me forma la Palabra de Dios?
¿Qué necesito de podar en mí, para dar más fruto?
