Often enough we look back over the day and wonder just what we've accomplished. We have the feeling of just spinning our wheels and not moving anywhere, powerless, useless. This is when we need to remember that Power is just God in action. No matter how weak we may feel we can at least allow God to work through us, not looking at what WE have or have not accomplished, but what the Spirit has accomplished, which is not always visible to us. No day is lost when we have turned it over to God to use as God sees fit. The more we dwell in God, the more fruit we shall bear. This fruit is not the work of the branches, but of the VINE that sends its vital juices through them to produce the fruit. "I am the vine, you are the branches" (John 15:5). Yes it makes sense. And on this First Friday, dedicated to the Sacred Heart, it makes even more sense to see ourselves receiving our vitality from that loving Heart.
As we are remembering our own deceased in prayer this month, let us also pray for those tragically murdered and wounded at Fort Hood, and for their grieving families.
