How connected are you? Most of us have a real connection with one or two people, perhaps a spouse, a child, a parent, a friend. Some of us may have a connection with the Holy, some with a community, others have no connection at all, with anyone.
Jesus had some very important words in the gospel of John about connections. In John 15:1-11 Jesus begins by saying:

"I am the vine, you are the branches."
As we approach Holy week I want to ask you about your connections - who are you connected to? When Jesus says, "I am the vine - you are the branches" He is giving us a way to picture how we are called to be connected all that is Holy. He gives us an understanding of how the community of faith is connected - first to God and then to one another. Find a grapevine and look at how everything is connected to the vine - from growing as the branches to the production of fruit nothing happens without a connection.
I invite you to connect with the Holy - the vine of life.
