I am the vine and my father is the vine grower...
Thus began today's Gospel.
But Fr. Larry wanted us to relate this metaphor to today's society:
You (congregation) are the iPads. I (Jesus) am the wireless and my Father is the server. Without me, you cannot check email, surf the web, be connected. Without my Father, I cannot serve you...
He went on a little further, but I think this serves his point. It's easy to lose sight of Jesus' meaning if we're not familiar with the imagery he used (e.g. growing vines), so it's important to "translate" his message into the everyday of our lives.
Well played, Fr. Larry. I think we all really plugged in to that one...
