Wednesday of week 12 in Ordinary Time
Gospel – Matthew 7:15-20
“You will be able to tell them by their fruits”. This is a very simple teaching which can be verified by the nature around us. From the fruits we can know which is the tree, not only the tree but also the health of the tree. If the tree is healthy, it produces good fruits. Also if the fruits are good, we can call it a good tree. So it’s about the kind and quality of the tree. It’s important to be a good kind of tree and to produce good quality fruit. By baptism we are all good kind of trees bearing within us the life of Christ. Now we have the challenge to produce good fruits which are good actions. We get the energy to produce good actions by cooperating with the graces given through sacraments and through our spiritual life. Our good actions, our good words, our good thoughts, our good temperament are signs that we are producing good fruits. But if we are praying a lot and at the same time we are getting iritated for everything, that means I am not cooperating with the grace. Concrete good actions are the real good fruits which must come from us. Real actions of love and charity. Let’s reflect: Am I producing good fruits by my concrete actions of love?
