1st Reading

• After Pauls conversion he went to Jerusalem to
  meet the Apostles. In the beginning they were
  afraid of him, but later welcomed him. He began
  to preach but soon ran into trouble. So the
  community decided to send him some other place.

2nd Reading

• St. John tells us that we shall be known by
  others through our deeds of love that we truly
  love one another. John reiterates the
  quintessence of being a Christian faith in Gods
  Son and love of ones fellowmen.

• 3. It is also the Fathers will that we bear much
  fruit.
• 4. The pruning of the branches means He takes
  away useless growth so that we may bear more
  fruit.

• We need volunteers for the activity to understand
  well, in a very simple way the meaning of the
  readings today.

Jesus
me
they
they
you
As you make the outside circle smaller and
smaller me, you, and they become closer to one
another and we come closer also to the center, to
Jesus! Get the point?

So what are the readings telling us today?

• The more we become closer to one another,
• the more too, we become closer to Jesus.
