Alright so with the craziness of trying to finish my last semester of undergrad I have yet been able to take sufficient time to write. Even more tragic, I managed not to take out a simple hour from my weekend for mass attendance. In the words of my dear friend Alex, "just go to mass man" better advice has perhaps never been offered. This is advice I will take with me well into the future, and as it turns out ties beautifully in with the gospel reading from Sunday as well as this terrifying process of moving on to what lies ahead.
For many what comes next is still unknown, a dim far off light at the end of a very long tunnel. Fortunately enough I know whats next for me, I will be attending the University of Dayton for grad school. Even with this seemingly false sense of security the unknown seems terrifying. This is where Alex's advice and this Sundays gospel come into play. John 15: 1-8, in this excerpt of of John's gospel we see Jesus offering an image of the father as the vine grower, and Jesus as the true vine. All we need to do is remain in him. It's that simple, even when the unknown is looming and terrifying one thing is always certain that if we remain in him he will remain in us and more over bear much fruit.
We need not fear the possibilities of tomorrow, as long as we remain in Him who gives us strength, He will also give us hope and ensure that our lives are fruitful.
