“When a person begins to realize and take seriously the fact that they are part of God’s bigger tree of life, then the essence of their life begins to take on greater depth and meaning.
Once we realize that God has intimately attached us to the very vine of himself, and that the life that I have come to know and treasure cannot be lived apart from that vine, then how I see the world, how I see my brothers and sisters, how I see myself all takes on a different character. It all begins to be transformed.”
Listen to Father Mark’s latest homily, entitled “God is the Vine,” here.
