By Mike Schramm
What connects the branches to the vine is not the power or strength of the branches themselves, but the strength and power of the Vine.

Daily Mass Reading Reflection (Nov 15, 2024)
By Mike Schramm
The angels are used as the example here because in the human imagination it is the angel who is above everything in the natural world. It takes the aerial view of the situation.
