Today we find a warning and a clue. Jesus tells us "Beware of false prophets who come to us in sheep's clothing but underneath are ravenous wolves" (Mt 7:15). Con men, scammers, the same in the time of Jesus, the same we deal with today. How do we recognize them? "By their fruits you will know them." (Mt 7:16).
The opposite is true, good fruits come from good trees, How do we bear good fruit? St. Josemaria Escriva, founder of Opus Dei, reminds us that doing our smallest tasks with love enables even these daily, menial, routines to bear good fruit in the harmony and ease they produce in the home or workplace. Loving what we do, loving the people who surround us, who cross our paths, bring joy to us and to others. Mother Teresa said the same thing. Love makes the difference, the fruits that fall from the tree of a loving heart nourish the hearts of others and encourage them to cultivate a love-based work ethic. May the fruits of a loving heart abound as we live today to the fullest.
