Wednesday of the Fifth Week of Easter

Scripture from today's Liturgy of the Word:
Acts 15:1-6
Psalm 122:1-5
John 15:1-8

A reflection on today's Sacred Scripture:

If you remain in me and my words remain in you,
ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you.

Today's Gospel is an extra special one and one that most of us will be quite
familiar with. Jesus is the one true vine and we are the branches -- the
branches that bear fruit He prunes so that we they can bear more fruit.
Living in Christ we are called to bear fruit with our lives -- to rid
ourselves of dead and self-defeating thoughts and actions. We are called to
live in the Light, to live in Truth, honouring the presence of Christ within
us. By living in Christ we can choose wisely -- not necessarily choosing the
easy path but choosing the right path for us to grow and deepen -- the right
path for us to bear much fruit.

Choosing to reside in Jesus, we choose Life -- gurgling, vibrant, immediate
Life which courses through our mind, body and spirit. With Jesus all matter
of things and healing are possible.

As we talked about a passion for God, a growing awareness of his presence, and a desire to do whatever I can to increase that, I realised that the thing which cultivated this passion in me, was to read and tell stories of Jesus.

This blog provides Daily stories of Jesus - some straight from various translations of the gospels, I hope about once a week- a re-told story. I find that the more I hear stories of Jesus , and the more we hear them, the more I discover what it means for us to have a passion for Jesus in our lives, and an deeper involvement with him.

As I ponder the stories I post, I am finding more and more that things hit me a few days later. What better to occupy my mind than stories of Jesus.
