Notes:
Two essential moments today:
· Our Lord: Father, Son and Holy Spirit
· True Vine
o “Remain in me, as I remain in you.”

unless it remains on the vine…”
o We are grafted into Jesus Christ

the justice he has shown.”
my descendants shall serve him.
Let the coming generation be told of the LORD
that they may proclaim to a people yet to be born
the justice he has shown.”
· Today I want to encourage each of you to proclaim about God
· We must produce fruit, and one way is to share your story with God, with Jesus
Pope Francis said, “make a mess.” “Carry on creating a ruckus;” he said, and “organize that ruckus”
· Why?
· We made to be beyond our organization, committees or programs
· We need to meet God’s people where they are!
· St. Paul
o He was a ruckus!
o “He moved about freely with them in Jerusalem,
and spoke out boldly in the name of the Lord.
He also spoke and debated with the Hellenists,
but they tried to kill him.”
and spoke out boldly in the name of the Lord.
He also spoke and debated with the Hellenists,
but they tried to kill him.”
He was stoned, beaten and arrested“Children, let us love not in word or speech

and reassure our hearts before him…”
but in deed and truth.. Now this is how we shall know that we belong to the truth
and reassure our hearts before him…”
Imagine, if you were in a place would you be arrested from being a Christian?
· If not, are you really a Christian?
