Preparing for next week’s gospel:
Fifth Sunday of Easter
John 15:1-8 Whoever remains in me, with me in him, bears fruit in plenty.
Question for reflection (framed for a group discussion)
Jesus tells us that we, the vine branches, are pruned already…
“You are pruned already, by means of the word that I have spoken to you.”
With the pandemic, it feels as though we have been cut off (pruned)
from each other both at Mass and afterwards meeting socially.
It has taught us the value of relationships and connectedness –
both with Jesus and with each other.
1. Do you read the gospel each week and reflect on it in terms of your relationships with God and with each other?
2. Decide how those relationships will “bear fruit” this week in ways that help us all to stay connected as a part of the Body of Christ here in South East Edinburgh.
