the most magnificent fruit = christian community

“Along both sides of the river fruit trees of every kind shall bear fresh fruit …every month they shall bear fresh fruit for they shall be watered by the flow from the sanctuary.” (Ez. 47:12) These prolific and fruitful trees are like groups of God’s holy people gathered in numerous Christian Communities, nourished by Jesus in His Holy Word and Sacraments, watered by the Holy Spirit. In today’s challenging culture we need to grow stronger and bolder in our faith. In a culture drowning in confusion and doubt we need the support of small groups of people “of one mind and one heart”, planted firmly in the “running waters” of the Church. These Christian Communities are the Most Magnificent Fruit whose leaves never fade and who bear fruit every month.
