This weeks readings (5th Sunday of Easter, B) all had something to do with ‘unity.’ The analogy of the Body of Christ resembling vines and branches was understood and meaningful to all. One member related the analogy to his work visiting people in nursing homes, mentioning that he feels that in a way he is acting as a vine in that ministry, reaching, reaching out to bring blessings to others. Another member likened the blessings hthat man tries to bring to the fruit that Jesus tells us that we are supposed to produce. It would have been instructive to delve into some of the other analogies to the body of Christ or Kingdom of Heaven which are found in the scripture, but no one was prepared to explore that vista, and in fact there was not the time to do it.
