1st Reading: Ephesians 4:7-16

Gospel: Luke 13:1-9

One day, some people told Jesus what had occurred in the temple: Pilate had had Galileans killed, and their blood

mingled with the blood of their sacrifices. Jesus asked them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered this? No, I tell you. But unless you change your ways, you will all perish, as they did.

And those 18 persons in Siloah, who were crushed when the tower fell, do you think they were more guilty than all the others in Jerusalem? I tell you: no. But unless you change your ways, you will all perish, as they did.”

And Jesus continued, “A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he came looking for fruit on it, but found none. Then he said to the gardener, ‘Look here, for three years now I have been looking for figs on this tree, and I have found none. Cut it down, why should it continue to deplete the soil?’ The gardener replied, ‘Leave it one more year, so that I may dig around it and add some fertilizer; perhaps it will bear fruit from now on. But if it doesn’t, you can cut it down.”

Reflection:

Continue seeking the way that He does.

Does our discipleship of Jesus bear fruit in the concrete experiences of our daily lives? Our discipleship is supposed to bear fruit, particularly in our actions and relationships. One of these fruits is repentance. Jesus, in our Gospel, strongly reminds His followers of the need for conversion and for changing our ways before it is too late. When we follow Jesus, it moves and challenges us to continue seeking the ways that He does. It moves us toward a continual conversion from our ways to His. It is only through Him that we can say we have borne fruit. It is good to ask ourselves: what are my ways of doing things that I am moved to start changing? How can I concretely do this in everyday life?
