Friends of the Rosary,
In today's Gospel (Luke 13:1-9), the Lord Jesus gives us the parable of a fig tree that bears no fruit.
This tree symbolizes the moral person who bears no spiritual fruit.
Christ is the vine, and we are the branches, meaning we are—or should be—conduits of divine grace into the world. We are meant to bring the fruits of charity and love and forgiveness.
However, as St. Paul explains today in his letter to the Romans (Romans 8:1-11), "those who live according to the flesh," while those living in the spirit are with God.
"The concern of the flesh is death,
but the concern of the spirit is life and peace.
For the concern of the flesh is hostility toward God;
it does not submit to the law of God, nor can it;
and those who are in the flesh cannot please God."
As we belong to Christ, let's acknowledge that the Spirit of God dwells within us.
Ave Maria!
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
To Jesus through Mary!
Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.
Please give us the grace to respond with joy!
