ENCOUNTER CHRIST
As children of God, Jesus is constantly challenging us to check our hearts, to see what fruit we are bearing. When Jesus speaks of fruit, he is speaking of charity, generosity, joy, gentleness, peace, faithfulness, patience, modesty, kindness, self-control, goodness, and chastity. These are the fruits of a disciple living within the Spirit, of a child living a life within the Father’s love. As we read the readings, if we replace the image of the earth with our hearts, will we see a life that is bearing fruit or one that needs to be pruned?
