ReadingsA good tree cannot bear bad fruit.
It is easy to see hardship, pain and turmoil as failure in our lives. When life brings us kicking and screaming to the floor time after time, we become angry and resentful, and let cynicism take over our wounded aspirations.
Today’s Gospel, however, is a call on us to produce fruit. It is easier to allow ourselves to become disheartened or resentful when wounded or attacked than to strive for forgiveness and peace, but how much more bitter is the fruit of hate than the fruit of love! In confusion and uncertainty, how much drier and barren is the fruit of hopelessness than the fruit of faith!
If we strive to produce the better, sweeter fruit, we shall begin to transform that hardship, loneliness and fear from failure into victory, for ‘by their fruits you will know them.’
