Sunday Evangelium - Totus2us

Fr Andrew: "There is a great difference between manufacturing and cultivation. Our civilization has produced much remarkable technology, such as space craft and the internet, but there are many things that we simply cannot do. We can build a spacecraft but cannot build an apple tree or an ear of corn, we can only grow these things. In his use of agricultural images, Jesus is therefore telling us something important about holiness. We cannot manufacture holiness, there is no magic formula by which we can create saints on a production line. We can only cultivate holiness and we need some of the patience and other virtues of the farmer. So how then do we cultivate holiness? I think there is no substitute for developing simple, daily and weekly disciplines, making use of the tools God has given us." Music by Edwin Fawcett.
