Father Eamon’s Commentary for the Fi h Sunday of Easter - May 2, 2021

Opening Prayer: Christ our Vine, we gather in your name so that we may grow in our understanding of and love for your Word, and bear fruit in your name. Prune and remove all sin, doubt, and clu er from our lives. Help us, like St. Paul, to boldly proclaim our faith in you. Amen.

Gospel: John 15:1-8 (Let us listen with our hearts to what Jesus is saying to us.) Here is the link for the readings: h ps://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/050221.cfm

Commentary: Last week, Jesus spoke of himself as the Good Shepherd. This week he refers to himself as the Vine which gives divine life to all who believe in him and live according to his Word. Non-fruit bearing branches will be cut away. This could be a reference to the Jews who reject Jesus or to people who do accept him but do not follow his ways. But even fruit-bearing believers will be pruned or purified by Jesus so that they can bear even more fruit. This daily pruning o en involves dealing posi vely with our daily crosses and losses. In the ‘vine and branch’ imagery, Jesus explains the wonderful in macy that exists between him and his followers and the responsibility that goes with it. Believers who nurture their rela onship with Jesus by lives of faith and love will bear much fruit. But then follows a severe warning: Those who neglect their rela onship with Christ will be cut away and thrown out. It is similar to what happens in close personal rela onships: unless they are nurtured, they die.

Ques ons: What word/phrase stuck out to you in the Gospel? How do you think that word/phrase relates to what is happening in your life now? Is Jesus asking you to change something to be a be er person or do something to help someone?

Closing Prayer: PRAYER FOR HEALING THE FAMILY TREE [Many families are cursed with the sins, wounds of their ancestors e.g., alcoholism, suicide, various physical and mental diseases. Hence, our need to pray for the healing of our Family Tree. Many individuals have through prayer been able to break the curse and heal wounds inflicted on their family.]

Heavenly Father, I come before you as your child in need of your help. Many of my problems have been caused by my own failure, neglect and sinfulness, for which I humbly beg your forgiveness. I also ask you to forgive the sins of my ancestors whose failures have le their effects on me in the form of unwanted tendencies, behavior pa erns and defects in body, mind and spirit. Heal me, Lord, of all these disorders. With your help I forgive all who have hurt me, especially living or dead members of my family tree, who have directly offended me or my loved ones in any way, or those whose sins have resulted in our present sufferings and disorders. In the name of your divine Son Jesus, and in the power of the Holy Spirit, I ask you, Father, to deliver me and my en re family tree from the influence of the evil one. Free all living and dead members of my family tree, including those in adop ve rela onships, and those in extended family rela onships, from every contamina ng form of bondage. By your loving concern for us, Heavenly Father, and by the shed blood of your precious Son Jesus, I beg you to extend your blessing to me and to all my living and deceased rela ves. Heal every nega ve effect transmi ed through all past genera ons, and prevent such nega ve effects in future genera ons of my family tree. I symbolically place the Cross of Jesus over the head of each person in my family tree, and between each genera on. I ask you to let the cleansing blood of Jesus purify the bloodlines in my family lineage. Set your protec ve angels to encamp around us, and permit Archangel Raphael, the patron of healing, to administer your divine healing power to all of us, even in areas of gene c disability. Give special power to our family members ’guardian angels to heal, protect, guide and encourage each of us in all our needs. Let your healing power be released at this very moment, and let it con nue as long as your sovereignty permits. In our Family Tree, Lord, replace all bondage with a holy bonding in family love, and let there be an ever-deeper bonding with you, Lord, by the Holy Spirit, to your Son Jesus. Let the family of the Holy Trinity pervade our family with its tender, warm, loving presence, so that our family may recognize and manifest that love in all our rela onships. All of our unknown needs we included with this pe on that we pray in Jesus’ precious Name. Amen.

Eamon’s heart. Please con nue to keep me and this project in your prayer as I move forward to create a place of prayer and peace. God Bless Jack Gander Ascension Scout Troup 373

GriefShare is a support program that features biblical, Christ-centered teaching that focuses on grief topics associated with the death of a loved one. Healing from your grief is not easy. It may be hard for you to feel op mis c about your future right now. It’s a long and some mes painful process. If you have lost a spouse, child, family member or friend, you’ve probably found there are not many people who understand the deep hurt you feel. We want to help you on your journey towards recovery. At each weekly GriefShare session, we start with a small introduc on, a 45-minute video on the many topics of grief and end with a group discussion, in which you can par cipate or listen. Workbooks are used to take notes and par cipate in daily exercises. A dona on for the workbook is greatly appreciated.

LITERACY FOR ADULTS IN BREVARD READY FOR VOLUNTEERS AND STUDENTS Covid Precau ons in place for students and tutors.

For nearly 50 years, Literacy for Adults in Brevard (LAB) volunteers have helped students achieve their GED, work towards ci zenship, qualify for job training, read to their grand kids. If you know of someone who could benefit from our one-on-one tutoring to improve their life, or if you are interested in working with LAB as a volunteer, please visit our website for more informa on:
