El fruto de la vid
Hoy se nos pide a nosotros que rindamos cuentas a Dios sobre
nuestra encomienda de anunciar la buena nueva de su amor. ¿Qué
fruto podemos ofrecer?
Cuántas veces percibimos, incluso dentro de la Iglesia, orgullo y
autosuficiencia. Nos cuesta escuchar. Cuánta gente, en nombre de
Cristo, nos ha hablado, dando testimonio, y hasta convirtiéndose
en mártires, derramando su sangre por amor. Y aún y así no nos
hemos convertido. Quizás hoy no matamos a los profetas, pero sí
nos volvemos intolerantes y criticamos en exceso. Nos molesta
que alguien pueda aleccionarnos, o que pueda corregirnos cuando
quiere sacar lo mejor de nosotros.
También nos cuesta estar unidos a la comunidad de la Iglesia.
Nos gusta ir por libre. Olvidamos que Jesús es la vid y nosotros
los sarmientos. Sólo unidos firmemente a él y a los demás
podremos dar buen fruto.
Cuidado. ¿Qué hará el dueño de la viña si no somos fecundos? Se
la dará a otros.
No temamos, pero tampoco nos aletarguemos. Dios tiene una
